My friend has a Siamese Fighting Fish and he feeds it live mosquito larva?
During the summer he lets stagnant water stand as a breeding ground for mosquito. Then he takes a strainer and strains out the mosquito larvae. Those little squirming hee bee gee bees he dumps in the tank and watches as the Siamese Fighting Fish gulps them down one after another. Is this healthy for the fish? He also takes pieces of tuna and holds it just above the water. The Betta jumps up and eats it from his fingers. Could this make the fish sick?

I have no idea about the tuna, but the mosquito larva is fine (very nutritious actually). the only danger is that something might get into the water (like chemicals) and this could be dangerous when the fish eats them, or parasites.
It good for them. thouse are called blood worms.
It’s actually their natural food in wild. Good source of protien for the betta. Small bits of fish are OK to feed as well.
Betta are carnivores, in the wild they would eat insects, their larvae, small shrimps and tiny fish.
Best I not tell you what my Oscar gets fed
