helping my betta eat less

[bronzefly]

Hey y'all, so I'm sure you remember my overstocked tank thread - I'm still in the process of getting it sorted. I've got my lovely betta, Honey (yeah, I know, not exactly the most fitting name for this feisty girl), who's doing great with her tankmates, no major aggression issues except for the occasional flaring with my one-eyed cherry barb, Tiger.

The thing is, Honey's got a serious food obsession - I'm talking Algae Wafers, flakes, bloodworms, omnivore pellets, even blanched zucchini... she'll eat it all and then some. I have to spread out food just so everyone gets a chance to eat, and even then, she'll gorge herself to the point of not being able to eat anymore, but she'll still try to grab more food and spit it out later. It's kinda charming, but I don't want her to harm herself, so I'm looking for a solution.

I'm thinking of moving her to a smaller container during feeding times, but that's not a permanent fix since I won't be able to set up another tank for a bit. Does anyone else have a betta with a huge appetite? Got any tips for reducing feeding or food drive? I'm even considering getting a fry box just for feeding times - that's how desperate I am. Thanks for any advice, -Caroline and Honey

I'm gonna get rid of those kit foods, they're probably stale by now anyway.
