How much are fish supposed to eat?

[texas*princess]

I am a first time owner of a fish and I really want to take care of it. The lil guy doesn't seem to be much of an eater... he will eat 5 or 6 of those itty bitty micropellets for bettas.

Does this mean he's sick? Is this how much Bettas normally eat? I just don't want the lil guy to starve

Beta's only eat a little, so it's okay!! Usually, they can eat off a plant, but since you are feeding it....it will eat only a little. The bigger he gets, the more he will eat.

Hope this helps!
