I recommend feeding twice daily, small amounts.

That's what I'm doing.

I prefer feeding flake at one feeding and then either Bloodworms or Brine
Shrimp (frozen not freeze dried) for the other feeding.

I've been using the Hikari pellets for one and Tetra betta flakes for
the other. Each refuses to eat the other :-). I've tried frozen brine
shrimp - neither likes it. And freezr-dried bloodworms = same thing.
I'll try the frozen bloodworms next.

I keep some live bearers in the main tank with my females and a resident male.
This way they can have lovely snacks.

I just added two platys. Appears to be one male, one female. I may add
another female, I saw somewhere that a male can exhaust a single female.
So far they're too freaked out by the move to do much chasing.

Thanks for the advice.
