Female crowntail betta?

Hi, I just got a female crowntail about 3 weeks ago, and the only thing she will eat are blanched peas, I know this is not good because they are carnivores. I give my bettas blanched peas once a week to prevent constipation (all my bettas love blanched peas), but it’s all she will eat. She spits the pellets out, I’ve even tried bloodworms and brine shrimp, she ignores them or spits them out, what should I do? I tried fasting her for 3 days and she still wants peas, I’m about to give up and just feed her peas, so she won’t be so skinny, please help or give me advise, thanks!

Feeding meat to betta fish (read details)?

I have heard that feeding things like brine shrimp and freeze-dried bloodworms are good for bettas, since they are carnivores. I was looking around Answers and read that feeding them finely chopped beef heart or liver would be fine too (though they will probably cloud the water) and I just wanted to confirm. And are boiled peas good too, once a week?

Am I feeding my betta fish correctly?

I’ve had it for like two months, so I know it can’t be bad. I’m feeding it TetraMin tropical granules. Then, somebody else who has a betta fish said that they feed it some type of worms or brine shrimp or something? So I looked that up and there are plenty of these freezed things because I guess betta fish are carnivores. Now I don’t want to go changing my fishy’s diet too much because I heard that they need consistency, but would it be healthier to add some meat to the diet? He’s been fine so far, but I want to give him the best.
