In my experience they prefer live food. I feed mine live black worms but I understand they also eat frozen worms and brine shrimp. I tried pellets but mine wouldn't eat them.

Mine eat anything that comes near thier little faces....but I feed them pellets and fd tubifex worms. They're pretty good at scoffing up any pellets the betta might miss that float to the bottom.
It can be hard to feed them with the betta in there though....they're little pigs and if they see the food first...it's theirs !! since the adfs are very poor feeders...lol...rather comical to watch them flipping themselves in all directions just trying to snap something up !
I have fed mine by hand by holding the tubifex worms in front of them, they eventually manage to grab it. I've had to bop the bettas in the nose a bit when they'd come over to try and snatch it from the frogs though....little water hogs !

feed them frozen brine shrimp. i had mine in with a betta too, and i first dropped a chunk of food right infront of the bettas face, then find the frog and drop another chunk of food right over his head, then use my finger to kind of push the chunk down until it started melting and sunk to the bottom and the frog could grab the decending pieces of brine shrimp.
it was rather funny because the frog actually picked on the betta. not enough to cause damage, just chased him around a little.
