I've had this betta at home, in a 5g by himself, heated and filtered, and he
is the king, no doubt....

TNKY7 has taught me that you should feed it a variety, but not every day,
skip a day here and there to allow for digestion... seems to work as Bob, da
betta.... has the biggest appetite I've EVER seen in a fish, let alone a
tiny little, well, HUGE betta.... he thinks he's huge... ask him, he'll say
he's 11 1/2" long.... and lives in a 75g tank... he really thinks he's that
big....

He gets a weekly 50% water change, and flirts with whoever comes near him,
he's really a happy little camper... Cam, did you hear that?

Food list
frozen bloodworms (thawed and hand fed)
hikari betta bites
tropica flakes on occasion

But it's not what he eats, it's how MUCH he eats... i don't feed him more
than I think he can handle, but he's always MORE hungry than I think and
wants more... but I always leave him hungry.... no waste to foul water...

How much can these little boogers eat, daily?

What I read, said that their stomachs are no larger than the head of a pin.
Who knows?

exactly why it's so strange for him to want to eat SO much....
