How Many Seachem Nutridiet Betta Pellets?

  • #1
so I’m using seachem nutridiet betta pellets which are slightly bigger than hikarI pellets and smaller the omega one pellets ( for size reference ) I did try the other two brands as they have better ingredients but hikarI they didn’t like and omega one was always clumped together

I’m feeding 5 pellets twice a day of the seachem ones - is this a good amount?
I fast one day a week

MMM no. Try 2-3 pellets SOAKED before you feed him and feed him ONCE a day

Really? These are tiny... I’m reading most feed 3 omega one pellets twice a day and 5 of these is the amount of 3 omega

Seachem nutridiet vs omega one size diff

They expand in his stomach, and if you want to feed him 5 go ahead and do that

I wasn’t being rude just trying to find out , I know they expand I’ve had Bettas before that lived for 3+ years so not completely new to this but I am new to this brand of food so def want opinions

My old Bettas I feed on a omega one betta pellet but it was different packaging so not sure if the pellets were the same recipe and size as they have this packaging now which they didn’t when I had my others a few years ago. I fed 3 twice a day of those whatever they were...

As you can see in the photo the seachem ones are much smaller so I’m jut struggling to work out how many I should do

Here’s a side by side

Calm down Easton Brickner the reason you soak them is so they won't expand in his stomach. I don't know how big those pellets are in comparison to a betta but just remember a bettas stomach is the size of his eye

I’m going to soak them I am getting some garlic guard to soak them in as I heard that is good
What brand of pellets do you feed iverg1 ? And how many ?
I’ll see if I can find your ones so I can compare mine to them in the pet store that’ll give me a idea on amount

A good rule of thumb is to feed as big as their eye. Soak all foods so they expand to their potential and compare to the betta's eye.

I think I’ll just go back to omega one pellets , I hate how clumped together they are but I’ll just waste the clumped ones I guess.

It’s easier to know how many with them as they don’t grow much when soaked compared to other brands. 2 pellets twice a day seemed perfect with that brand..:
I soak all pellets in water currently but I’m thinking of trying the seachem garlic guard as a soaker
I had some Omega One Betta Buffet pellets left so I soaked them for their dinner tonight ( it’s 5pm here in NZ) and gave them two each
