Can you feed bettas regular tropical fish food?

I’m just wondering because I’m allergic to bloodworms, and I think brine shrimp, and I REALLY, REALLY want a betta. So I’m wondering if I can just use my tropical fish food that I use for my guppies, platies and mollies? If not, is there any type of food that DOES NOT contain bloodworms or brine shrimp? Looking for best answer

My oscar has HITH (Hole In The Head) how do I fix it?

Water quality was bad but after numerous water chanmges and a few changing of things it is almost perfect now, but he is still sick. I was feeding him only cichlid sticks, but now I am feeding him bloodworms some other kind of tropical fish food, and he occasionally gets a few brine shrimp when I am feeding the other fish. Please help me, if he does not get better soon, I will have to give him to the pet store.
