This is Soufflé! They are highly interactive, very curious and… a bit of a monster 😂
They love to watch my grown snails and follow my adult shrimp around – but find anything that fits in their mouth to be a delicious treat… (lots of hiding spots for babies though, not a concern)
In saying that, their appetite is voracious and will try to eat anything and everything, they gobble up every little pellet I drop in within seconds.
Some advice on how much I should be feeding my very hungry young betta would be amazing, I worry about over-feeding.

My betta is always hungry, too, so no advice on that, but Soufflé is so beautiful! Did the blue show up or did they have it when you picked them?
Growing fish need good nutrition so I’d feed fairly generously and monitor their body shape, adjusting as needed. I feed my betta 10 micro granules twice a day with the odd frozen bloodworm/brine shrimp treat, and she’s doing fine, if she gets tubby (has happened once, when she had shrimp in there and she wouldn’t stay away from the cucumber and algae wafers) I fast her. Since she ate all her shrimpy friends it hasn’t been a problem. 🙁
Their stomach is roughly the size of thier eyes. The norm is to feed 2 to 3 pellets twice a day. You can use this chart as well to see if your betta is a good weight.
