The newly hatched betta fish can't eat for two days after hatching, but then it will enter the feeding stage. At this stage, fighting fish need to gradually adapt to the environment and temperature in the water, and at the same time need to control the types and quantities of food.

When feeding newly hatched fighting fish, you can choose special mollusk plankton, such as tadpoles, water fleas, snails, etc. as the first food. These tiny creatures can meet the instinctive feeding demand of betta fish for plankton to a certain extent, and can also ensure that betta fish get enough nutrition from the initial feeding to the growth process.

2. Nutritional sources of non-cell membrane structure

In addition to microscopic plankton, newly hatched fighting fish can also absorb nutrients that are not found in the cell membrane structure, such as lactic acid bacteria and beneficial bacteria. These fungi can provide essential amino acids, essential fatty acids and other nutrients for fighting fish.

Attention, when keeping betta, don't let it eat any toxic or only toxic food, such as river cod and grouper. Those substances containing toxins may damage the digestive system of betta fish, and may also lead to the overall health decline of betta fish.

3. Balanced nutrition

Betta fish feed on animal protein, so we should pay attention to giving balanced nutrition when raising betta fish. Especially the newly hatched young fish, it is necessary to put an end to the phenomenon of single food.

You can raise betta fish as your own bait or buy special fish feed, but in either way, you must ensure balanced nutrition and avoid adding a lot of fat or starch, otherwise it will lead to eating disorder and increase the digestive burden of betta fish.

4. Moderate feeding

The newly hatched fighting fish can't eat too much food at once, so it is necessary to control the food intake. The newly hatched young fish eat too much, which will lead to increased intestinal burden and prone to gastrointestinal dysfunction and other diseases. So in general, feed it 2-3 times every 2-3 hours.

In addition, fighting fish has a short intestine and digests food very quickly. Therefore, if the food intake is not properly controlled, fighting fish may overeat and eat too much nutrition in a very short time, leading to gastrointestinal diseases and affecting growth and development.
