How many times per day do you guys feed your bettas and for how many minutes per time?

I feed him 2x times (morning and night) for all he can eat during 2 minutes.

I feed mine two times daily also. I don't offer the same food twice in a row though. I've been offering frozen bloodworms, tetra flakes, pellets, frozen brine shrimp which they devour. Two of the fourteen feedings is steamed mashed peas to keep their tract clear. I vacuum anything left uneaten in about five minutes. Every week or 10 days I make them fast. Usually after their mashed pea feeding.

I only feed mine once a day but i varey their diet so i start the week with the Hikari bio gold betta pellet just give them 3 each, then the next day id give frozen blood worm, then Tetra betta flakes, then the next day tetra fresh delica brine shrimp, then its their pea day and then its the day that they get nothing, then the routine starts over.

They dont seem starving the next day as iv only ever fed them once a day.

Twice. I don't do the 2 minute thing though or I'd be there all day. I know an average number of pellets they can eat, so I give them that. Live food is on top of that, as a treat.

I feed pellets twice per day, unless a fish is looking unwell and then he/she'll get more food and esp more bloodworms to fill them out a bit.

Sometimes if i'm feeding the puffs I will slip some bloodworms/glassworms/brineshrimp to the bettas too, in between pellet meals

When i had bettas i just used to feed them once a day and then algae wafers at night for my cats but they would always nipple at them.
