Do they need to be kept warm? Can i use warm water for him, I do not have a thermometer?** A: You can use a people thermometer in the new water if u don't have a fish thermometer needs between 74 to 80 degrees **Q: If you feed 5 - 10 pellets twice a day, about how long would this package last? I'm guessing 2 - 3 months?** A: I have fed my betta 1 pellet in the morning and two in the evening and she has been healthy for the last two years. 5-10 is definitely too much and will probably cloud the water if it doesn't eat them. If u do choose to go that route then I would agree with kcharn, prob a month for 10 and two months for 5. But over feeding is bad for your betta! **Q: Does the pellet float? Don't bettas like to eat food that floats on water?** A: Yes the pellets float, bettas like to eat from the waters surface **Q: Can i feed it sometime to Jack Dempsey** A: The package says for fish greater than 3 inches long. We've fed it to oscars and african cichlids ## Frequently Bought Together - Hikari 8.8-Ounce Cichlid Excel Floating Pellets for Pets, Mini - Hikari 12-Ounce Cichlid Excel Sinking Pellets for Pets, Mini - Hikari 8.8-Ounce Cichlid Excel Floating Pellets for Pets, Medium --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/47908778-8-8-ounce-cichlid-excel-floating-pellets-for-pets-mini](https://www.desertcart.at/products/47908778-8-8-ounce-cichlid-excel-floating-pellets-for-pets-mini) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-10-19*
