Is it safe to give Betta Fish mince as a treat?

14 June 2010 93 views 2 Comments

My friend gives her Betta Fish tiny bits of mince as a treat once a mouth and they really seem to enjoy it and I was wondering whether or not this is safe to the health of a Betta Fish? I have Betta Fish of my own and the idea of giving them a treat once in awhile sounds nice but is it safe?
Forgot to mention its just normal beef mince.

    A small amount is unlikely to harm them.

    But fish have problems digesting fat and gristle from warm blooded animals (like cows)

    Beef heat is generally better, almost no fat.

    Frozen bloodworms, daphnia etc are a better treat. Bits of fish or shrimp are something else you can keep in the freezer and feed as a treat.
