I split a frozen cube in half and drop it into the tank. It floats for a few seconds, then sinks. My betta eats some of it, but most of it drops down, is not eaten and messes the tank. After a few days of this, the tank is smelling something fierce. I started out with pellets and he hated them. He kept spitting them out. I thought that maybe they were too big for him, so I split them in half. Still he’d only touch them if he *really* hungry.

So, just wondering if you know of a better way to feed him the frozen brine without messing up the tank too much. And, how much should I be feedig him and how times per day. How often should I be cleaning the fish tank when feeding this messy brine?

Thanks.
And here I thought that he wasn’t getting enough food! I went by what the girl at the pet store told me — half a cube everyday. I should’ve gone online looked into it myself. Poor guy was getting too much in his tank.

Thanks for the help.
