Here's why:
* Betta fish are carnivores: They primarily eat meaty foods like insects, worms, and crustaceans.
* Plants are not a suitable food source: These plants are not digestible by bettas and do not provide the necessary nutrients.
* Potential for harm: If a betta fish tries to eat plant matter, it could potentially cause digestive problems or even blockages in their digestive system.
To keep your betta fish healthy, provide a balanced diet of high-quality betta fish flakes, pellets, or frozen foods. You can also supplement their diet with occasional treats like bloodworms or brine shrimp.
