When we got Greenie, we also picked up one container of betta fish food, a variety made by Tetra BettaMin called Tropical Medley Betta Flakes. Greenie seems to like them, but they sure are messy. You just twist the lid and stinky pink flakes fly everywhere. The fish store guy said that one jar should last two years and that, no, the fish does not need a variety of things to eat. But would you want to eat the same thing day in and day out? So, I think next I'm going to pick him up some protein-rich, freeze-dried bloodworms, maybe by a maker called Top Fin. Yum! What could be tastier than bloodworms?
Also, Alec has revealed why he named the fish "Greenie." I said, "You know, Alec, that fish is blue." And Alec replied, in an exasperated tone, "I know. He feels green." I guess he's a green fish trapped in a blue body.
