Feeding bettas pea ?
i am aware that it is a good thing to do weekly but do you have to boil the pea first
cant you purely remove the skin from a frozen pea and feed it the insides
what does boiling it do
Removing the skin and thawing the peas is better then cooking them. Cooking removes some of the nutrients. Its accurate to give fish a balanced diet and this is a good perception. I have included a link to general betta exactness.

The boiling cooks the pea, making it soft, easier for your betta to put away. Or you could peel away the skin of the frozen pea and thaw the the remaining pea and offer it to your betta. However boiling will cause the pea to lose some of their nutrients.
Answers: Joel is right. You really should never cook, steam or blanch veggies given to your fish. Although it is the fiber you are lookin to get the vits and minerals are also an important chunk. No boiling or microwaving needed here. No skin removal either. If you have a small fish just consent to the pea thaw, cut it in 4 and feed. Lettuce, greenbeans, spinach etc can be tossed contained by in larger peaces but can also be cut up. Remember fish don't cook and plants are whole and attached when fish nibble surrounded by the wild.
Boiling not only makes the pea softer (which isn't needed) again removes too copious good points as to why you are feeding them for in the first place.
Better to go for a dry worm or blood worm instead of pea.
