I would try all of these foods: live or freeze dried brine shrimp, mosquito larvae, live or dried blood worms, insides of peas(note: should not be only food source bettas should be fed a variety of foods to maintain health), Hikari Gold betta food.

don’t feed him anything, a healthy betta can go 2 weeks without food. I’m not recommending it though. Just wait until tomorrow to feed him

Don’t give him human food.

It’s actually good to let them forage for themselves for a day or two – depending on what’s in your tank ornament/plant-wise. Leave it for a day, then buy proper food. Bloodworms or brine/mysis shrimp will be fine once you get your hands on some.

Good luck!

I hear peas are very healthy for fish. Feed only the inside of the peas and don’t over feed them. The peas also help their liver and digestive system.
Any kind of vegetables but be cautious of what kind.
I hope this helps! =D good luck!

If he goes one or two days without food, it won’t harm him. I would not recommend feeding human food though.
