4 to 5 pellets, once a day. your betta's stomach is in fact no bigger that it's eye. that amout will supply him/her the amount of food it needs for the day. plus you don't need to feed it more than that cause the water to become dirty and toxic. the decay food will cause the ammonia and nitrate levels in the water to rise which is harmful to your fish.

i would only feed the betta once a day, probably mid afternoon. If you feed to much, it will dirty the tank much fast. Also, even feeding every other day is ok.
Also, its usually a good idea to fast your fish for three days once a month. It helps clear out the digestive system so they have a less risk of getting swim bladder disease.
Also, if your feeding your betta the hard round pellets, let them soak in water for about a minute or so, to let them soften up. They are more likely to get swim bladder disease as well when they eat them before they've softened.

Only twice a day. Only give them what they will eat in a couple minutes or so. If they don't eat all the food you give them each time you feed them, you then need to take a net and remove the uneaten food from the bowl. Otherwise your water will dirty fast with the uneaten food.

Nearly 3 times to 4 times. but i will feed it with carefully because some time if we give too amount of food it will and it makes to death. so i will be careful when giving food. and i consult the veterinary doctor and then only buy the good fish and each and every week i consult and ask to see the health of the fish. because fish is my breathe and i love fish. i wont give worst quality food, it makes to easily affected by diseases.
