betta eat dry blood worms?

i heard live foods can give bettas diseases.but what about dried blood worms??
Answers:
Bettas love freeze dried bloom worms and brine shrimp. Freeze dried foods are sterile unlike frozen foods. Just be sure not to over feed, and to feed a varied diet.

PS- Some bettas won't eat blood worms if they've never seen them before. If he doesn't eat them at 1st let him fast for 1-2 days. When he's hungry he'll try them. Once he has tried them he'll eat them.
They love freeze-dried bloodworms, which are actually very tiny mosquito larva. Bettas are carnivores. I do avoid live worms because of the risk of parasitic infestation.
BettaMin鈩?Floating Flake Food and Delecta鈩?Freeze Dried Blood Worms both made by Tetra鈩?and available in most pet stores and Wal-Mart Stores. We also feed the fish in our fish bowls a few live Black Worms three days a week and occasionally some live or frozen brine shrimp. A little bit of live food is very good, but too much seems to cause problems.

If he prefers the flakes that's fine. Just be sure it is a complete basic diet food with vitamins. Fish are fine being fed once a day. Feed no more than the size of his eyeball every day. His stomach is about that big and it helps keep from overfeeding him. You can split up the feedings to 3 times a day, but no more than you would feed if he ate once per day. Crumble a little food just to look at how big is really is and you can compare it to him.

Below are some great web pages with info on bettas and their care. If there were other bettas given away maybe you could pass on some of this info to the other parents, or print up a care sheet to help them know how to care for their little fish too;
NO ! I HAVE A BETTA GREAT FISH GO TO THE PET STORE AND ASK THE GUY WHO WORKS THERE OK
