to breed them? This is just and edited version of my question, but.. doFish such as bettas (siamese fighting fish). Do they really need high quality foods such as brine shrimp if i want them to breed. I usually feed my betta fish betta fish pellets. If i wanted to breed them, couldnt i just feed them the pellets. (by the way i already know how to breed betta fish, im just asking if it's ok to feed freshwater fish their flake
and/or pellet food in order for them to spawn and if they will still spawn if i feed them their flake/ pellet foods)
 
yes they should be fine with pellets. It doesn't really matter what food the fish eat, unless they hate it, but how the tank is. It needs to be nice temperature, clean, few plants, roomy, and the mates need to be interested in each other. i'm sure eating different foods doesn't change any mating behaviors, they might not even like the diet change. so i would suggest you keep it the way it is and look more into evironmental to help encourage your fish mating. its best to have 2 female to 1 male

One reason for feeding your fish good food is that spawning is hard on them and they should be in the best possible conditions they can be. It s like asking you to run a race, but you haven't prepared for it and your body doesn't have the vitamins and such it really needs to function at such a high level.
It's just a good idea to feed them as best you can.
