fish flake food

[johnlarson66]

I crumble the flakes in the tank into small pieces. I really thought the fish prefer the smaller flake bits than a big piece of flake. I really thought this was how you were supposed to do it. Maybe I learned this from Mr. Rogers...

I guess it really does not matter. Either way the fish are going to eat it. I guess I will keep crumbling, until I am told it is bad.

Crumble away. All that seems to matter is that the fish eat, and very little, if any goes to waste.

Though I think I question the idea of bettas being better fed a sinking food - it goes against their physiology - these are top dwelling fish with upturned mouths for the express purpose of getting their food from the surface. And my bettas will often ignore any pellets that sink. Instead I just end up with a betta looking back at me as if to say, "Um yeah buddy that one sank...so you need to give me another."
