Hi
Sounds like fun, but by earthworm do you mean a worm out of the garden? Unless you culture your own worms in a box you cant be sure the worm is safe. It could have been contaminated with chemicals or pesticides.

Just trying to think of the size of the worm compared to the betta... Shocked it's like the equivalent of a human trying to shove a whole aubergine down their throats lol

I know lots of people feed earthworms to their cichlids, but i'd have thought they'd be too big for a betta

He should be good for the next few days! Little piggies, they will just keep eating! Very Happy I know I have to watch mine, they will look all cute trying to get me to feed them more, even though their little tummies are big and round! rofl
