First of all some Definitions

Fish Meal - "Fish meal is the clean, dried, ground tissue of undecomposed whole fish or fish cuttings, either or Both, with or without the extraction of part of the oil."

Basically meal is ground up, dried out parts of the human animal That Are Not Considered grade. They are higher in salt and other nutrients but lower in protein then whole meats would be.

Foods chứa just "fish meal" are not good, foods chứa more specific items like "Antarctic Krill Meal" or "Herring Meal" while still not as good as whole fish, are a much better option then những chứa just "fish meal "

Foods chứa whole meats and not too many fillers are going to be much better for your bettas then chứa foods meal and lots of fillers.
