Standard Deduction Vs. Itemizing. Adjusted gross income has nothing to do with itemizing, which is a common mistake may people make. The section on Form 1040A following Adjusted Gross Income is titled Tax and Credits and includes Line 40 for itemized deductions and Line 42 for exemptions.
Bettas being kept as pets will do well on a standard pellet food designed especially for bettas (I recommend HBH Betta Bites or Tetramin granules) with an occasional treat of frozen/live worms or freeze-dried brine shrimp andbloodworms. Pet bettas should not be overfed; a few pellets per feeding is sufficient.
Dinner time. Bettas have upturned mouths and primarily feed on the water's surface. A good diet consists of dried bloodworms, brine shrimp or daphnia. Commercial betta food or pellets are best because it combines all three foods, in addition to vitamins and minerals. This improves the betta's brilliant coloring and longevity. It is a common misconception that peace lilies or plant roots grown out of betta vases can sustain the fish.
