I feed all my Bettas twice a day, 3 pellets in the morning, 2 at night.

Boris is just like the rest, always hungry, eats everything, never leaves leftovers. Yep, that's every Betta, young or old, pigs when it comes to food, shameless beggars. I worry if one of my Bettas isn't begging for food.

As for duckweed, I doubt your Betta could eat enough to make a difference. Bettas can eat plants, but it's not like they're going to clear out a whole patch of duckweed in a day.

While Bettas can and do eat plants, I doubt yours could eat enough duckweed to make a difference. For those who haven't seen a Betta eat plants, it's quite something. I've got a video of one of mine munching away.

By the way, I think my tank's doing alright - lots of plants, and my Bettas love 'em. Don't worry about them killing each other, they're all separate. I've tried feeding them canned peaches, they go wild for 'em. I think your duckweed probably got sucked into the filter, try washing it in tank water and see how that goes.

Your tank is lovely, I'm particularly fond of the plant life. I was wondering, do your bettas get along with each other?
