How often should i feed my betta?

Bettas get very obese so watch the amount and vary the type of food. Freeze dried foods are the best. Variety is the secret. Make sure all is eaten in two minutes. Use small snails as betta bowl cleaners, bettas also like to eat them. Yes bettas love to lounge in plants and they live usually in slow moving stagnant water in the wild. The bettas we keep as pets are very fancy versions of the wild swamp ditch fish. Temperature should be near 80 degrees, no cold air above the water use gl or plastic if needed. Leave an air gap above the water. Be sure to always use exactly the same temperature water with the chlorine removed when doing water changes.
