## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it normal for betas not to eat when you first get them?  Do they need to be kept warm?  Can i use warm water for him, I do not have a thermometer?**
A: You can use a people thermometer in the new water if u don't have a fish thermometer needs between 74 to 80 degrees

**Q: If you feed 5 - 10 pellets twice a day, about how long would this package last? I'm guessing 2 - 3 months?**
A: I have fed my betta 1 pellet in the morning and two in the evening and she has been healthy for the last two years. 5-10 is definitely too much and will probably cloud the water if it doesn't eat them. If u do choose to go that route then I would agree with kcharn, prob a month for 10 and two months for 5. But over feeding is bad for your betta!

**Q: Does the pellet float?  Don't bettas like to eat food that floats on water?**
A: Yes the pellets float, bettas like to eat from the waters surface

**Q: Can i feed it sometime to Jack Dempsey**
A: The package says for fish greater than 3 inches long. We've fed it to oscars and african cichlids
