Bettamin Small Pellets Review for Betta Fish Feeding
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
If you are searching for Bettamin small pellets, the first thing to know is what this page can and cannot tell you: the product data behind it contains no listing for the Bettamin food itself, so it gives no ingredients, pellet size, feeding amount or nutrition figures for that food. What it does hold is detailed data for two automatic feeders that the listings say work with pellets, flakes, granules and powder. This review covers those two feeders in depth, explains how to read a pellet feeding setup for a betta, and says clearly where the listings stay silent.
Quick answer
- No data on Bettamin itself is available here, so check the food’s own label for ingredients, pellet size and portion before you buy or feed it.
- Two Aoyar automatic feeders in the data list pellets among the foods they handle: a 200 ml model and a 300 ml model.
- The 300 ml model offers 15 separate grids, dual modes, 1 to 7 day intervals and a stated 32 dB noise level; the 200 ml model offers three fixed intervals of 8, 12 or 24 hours.
- For a single betta, small portions matter more than capacity, and the listing for the 200 ml model itself says small fish are recommended to be fed every 24 hours.
What we know about Bettamin small pellets, and what we do not
The keyword names a specific food, but the listings gathered for this page are for feeders, not for that food. Both feeder listings carry a note that the word Bettamin does not appear in their titles, which tells us they do not mention it. So anything about the food, including how soft or hard the pellets are, which ingredients they contain, how much to give, and what the guaranteed analysis says, is outside the data. The honest approach is to read the food’s package for those details. Where this page speaks about pellets, it speaks about feeders and general feeding setup, not about the contents of a particular tub or jar.
Because a pellet’s size and how it behaves in water decide how well a feeder handles it, it is worth checking the pellet size on the food’s package against the feeder you are considering. The two listings below state that they are suitable for a range of foods, but neither names a pellet diameter, so the listings do not say whether very small pellets pass cleanly through each model.
Why a feeder is discussed at all
Small pellets are popular for bettas because a betta has a small mouth and a small stomach, and portion control is the main worry. People searching for a pellet often end up asking how to dispense it while they are away, so a feeder is a natural second purchase. A feeder does not make a food better; it only removes the need to be present at each meal. For a short trip, skipping a feeding is also a choice some keepers make, and a vet who treats fish is the right person to ask if you are unsure how long your own fish can go. We do not give medical or feeding-schedule advice for illness.
For feeding tools that sit alongside pellets, our page on New Life Spectrum betta pellets and feeding tools covers a specific pellet and the equipment around it, and is the better companion read if you want food details.
Aoyar 200 ml Automatic Fish Feeder, model CY-059A
This is the smaller of the two. The listing describes a battery-powered feeder with a 200 ml capacity in black plastic, with dimensions of 5.9 by 2.76 by 4.72 inches and a weight of 10.23 ounces. It is listed as hand wash only, which is worth noting because pellet dust and humidity can build up in a food cylinder.
Feeding modes
The listing names three fixed interval modes: it rotates and feeds automatically every 8, 12 or 24 hours, set by pressing a button on the settings page. A manual mode lets you feed at any time. The listing adds that small fish are recommended to be fed every 24 hours, which for a single betta points to the 24 hour setting.
Portion control
The feeding volume is adjusted with a slider, and the listing says this helps control amounts to prevent overfeeding. The included components list two adjustable sliders. Nothing in the listing states how many pellets a given slider position releases, so you would need to watch what it drops on a trial run and adjust.
Moisture protection
The listing says a moisture-proof lid design reduces more than 90 percent of water vapor entering the feed cylinder, reducing clumping. That claim is the maker’s, and no figure for a particular food is given, but the idea matters: pellets that absorb humidity can swell and jam. Placing a feeder over an open tank, where humid air rises, is the usual case where this design matters.
Installation
Two methods are listed. An adjustable clamp base fixes it to a tank cover with a thickness of 0 to 1 inch, or a double-sided sticker fixes it to the cover. The listing also notes 360 degree rotation, so you can aim the feeder. Included components are the feeder, two adjustable sliders, double-sided tape and a manual. The listing gives a one year warranty.
What it suits
The listing describes compatibility with flakes, granules, powder and strips. It lists pellets under the product description in its title. A small tank with a cover under an inch thick fits the clamp. If you have an uncovered tank or a thicker lid, the sticker option is the alternative. The three fixed intervals mean you cannot choose, for instance, a feeding every two days, which is a limit compared with the other model.
Aoyar 300 ml Automatic Fish Feeder with 15 grids, model Aoyar 01
The larger feeder is also battery powered, in black plastic, listed at 6 by 3 by 9 inches and 1.12 pounds, with a 300 ml capacity and hand wash only care. The listing gives a two year warranty and operation mode as automatic and manual.
Grids and dosing
The distinguishing feature is 15 independent grids that allow free combination of food and precise dosing. Each grid holds a maximum of 15 grams. The listing says this helps avoid over-feeding, reduce water pollution and keep the aquarium cleaner. For a keeper who wants to load a specific amount for each meal ahead of time, a grid layout is easier to reason about than a single hopper, because each compartment is a measured portion.
Scheduling
The listing says it supports both automatic and manual modes. You can set intervals of 1 to 7 days, 1 to 3 meals per day, and 1 to 3 portions per meal. A manual feed button is there for an instant feeding. Controls are listed as Power, Setting, Manual Feeding, and Plus and Minus buttons, which the listing calls easy for beginners.
Noise and mounting
The listing states 32 dB operation, described as nearly zero noise and no stress to fish. Two installation modes are named: a mount for open-top tanks and suction cups for closed-top tanks. It carries a note that it is not for outdoor fish ponds.
Compatibility
It is listed as compatible with powder, stick, pellet and flake foods, and as suitable for goldfish, betta, tropical fish, turtles and other aquatic pets. As with the first model, no pellet diameter is given.
What it suits
Because it has more scheduling choices and a grid layout, it fits a keeper who wants fixed portions over a longer absence, such as a long weekend, with a defined number of meals. It is taller than the 200 ml model at 9 inches, so check the clearance above your tank before buying.

Setting up a trial run
Whichever food you choose, run the feeder for a day or two with the tank lid in place before leaving, and watch what drops and when. Check that pellets are not sticking in the dispensing opening, and that the amount is small enough for one fish. If a pellet is too large or too small for the opening, the listings do not say how the feeder will react, so a trial run is the only way to learn it. Keep the feeder dry, wash it by hand as the listings direct, and refill only the amount you plan to use, since the moisture-proof claims are about reducing humidity, not removing it.
Other gear that helps small-tank feeding
A well-run small tank is easier to feed.

Uneaten pellets foul the water, so a filter and regular water changes matter more than any gadget.
FAQ
What are Bettamin small pellets?
The data used for this page has no listing for that food, so we cannot describe its ingredients or size. Read the package or the seller’s listing.
Can an automatic feeder dispense pellets?
Both Aoyar listings name pellets among compatible foods. Neither states a pellet size, so run a trial first.
How often should a betta be fed from a feeder?
The 200 ml model’s listing says small fish are recommended to be fed every 24 hours. For your own fish, ask a vet who treats fish if you are unsure about the schedule.
Which feeder has more scheduling options?
The 300 ml model, with intervals of 1 to 7 days and up to 3 meals per day.
Is a feeder worth it for a trip of a few days?
That depends on the fish and on how long you will be away. The listings call both models suitable for vacations and weekends, but they do not say anything about your own fish, so plan a trial run beforehand.
Where can I read about a specific betta pellet?
Our page on New Life Spectrum betta pellets covers one, with feeding tools to match.
Bottom line
Do not treat this page as a review of Bettamin, because the data does not cover the food. If you already feed small pellets and want to automate meals, choose the 300 ml feeder for flexible scheduling and fixed portions, or the 200 ml feeder for a simpler three-interval setup, and test either with your pellets before you leave.
