Question:

Is it ok to give my betta fish peas from.?

ramen noodle cups? would rinsing/cooking/cooling it make it safe for him to eat? also, how long is it safe to leave the light on in a one gallon triangle shaped tank.will the the top melt because its some sort of plastic? the top has a clear acrylic part to separate the air above the water from the lightbulbabove the light where it touches the outer layer, there is a piece of aluminum,im guessing to reflect on the water? im trying to keep the heat around 75-78 so my betta stays happythis is my third betta(one lived 3 years), and i want to make him happy, but he will not eat his food, (pebbles) he only grabs onto the pebble, swims around with it in his mouth, and spits it back outso now to give him a little treat i want to try the pea alsoi cant think of anything to help him feel a little homey because right now his tank is pretty bare its just light gravel with an air filterno plants because the tank was used by my one other fish and i dont have a new fake plant to give.

Answer:

I would stay away from the pea thingIf you want to give him a treat try some blood wormsBetas do the spitting out of the food businessThey'll eat it when they are hungryIf you want to try something you could try a small slice of cucumberAt Petsmart, we give all of our goldfish and some of our other fish slices of cucumberIt would be okay for a betaAs for your light you want to make sure you leave your light off for 12 hours a dayThis is to prevent an overgrowth of bacteria and algaeThe light stimulates algae growthYour beta can survive from 68 degrees to 80That is why they are such harty fishYou should get some decorations for your tankSuprisingly you'll see your fish more happy and active if you doIt gives them a homeIf you want, you can get some live plantsThey really aren't that expensive and you get the benifits of oxygen in your tankThis also makes the fish happy, especially if he is living in a bowelJust no peas or anything from ramen soup for your fish Dont soak the food in water, it's already going to be soaked in waterI wouldn't switch to flake, it's very easy to overfeed with flakeStick with the pelletsHe'll eat.
