## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many pellets for a juvenile fighter?**
A: 2-4 once a day. Remove any uneaten food after 5 minutes.

**Q: How many pellets should I feed my Betta each day ?**
A: I have no idea. I have one and I give him a pinch every 2 to 3 days. The packet lasts ages. I dont know if I'm under or over feeding but he seems happy enough blowing his bubbles

**Q: Hi please can you let me know which size is the mini in mm thanks for your time**
A: Each pellet is approximately 2mm in diameter.

**Q: Are these ok to feed to Goldfish & Tench over the winter months**
A: Hi although it contains wheatgerm to make it easier to digest it has a 37% protein content, I personally would recommend using a wheatgerm based pond food which will have a protein content around 30% and when water temperature drops below 6 deg I would suspend feeding altogether.
