Definitely start the Maracide asap. I read my package of M2... it says it can be used concurrently with Maracide. I've used it together with no negative side affects.

Frozen/thawed daphnia might be a good food choice for your little girls... it's often given to young betta fry. It may be a bit messy... you might want to use a pippette/medicine dropper to dispense this particular food. You could also feed frozen/thawed brine shrimp. For the bloodworms, they come in all shapes and sizes... you could pick out the smaller ones to offer your tiny girls... or they can be chopped up. These frozen/thawed foods are less constipating over the dry pellets (even presoaked pellets). You could offer the frozen/thawed food more regularly to help stave off bloating/sbd issues... just be sure not to give in to their insane wiggle dances... they LOVE this stuff... it's a steak dinner for them!

You may want to have a read through our Betta FAQ's and Caresheet if you haven't already found them... lots of good info there...

Let us know how Jasmine's doing!
