Is it normal for betas not to eat when you first get them? Do they need to be kept warm? Can i use warm water for him, I do not have a thermometer?

You can use a people thermometer in the new water if u don't have a fish thermometer needs between 74 to 80 degrees

If you feed 5 - 10 pellets twice a day, about how long would this package last? I'm guessing 2 - 3 months?

I have fed my betta 1 pellet in the morning and two in the evening and she has been healthy for the last two years. 5-10 is definitely too much and will probably cloud the water if it doesn't eat them. If u do choose to go that route then I would agree with kcharn, prob a month for 10 and two months for 5. But over feeding is bad for your betta!

Does the pellet float? Don't bettas like to eat food that floats on water?

Yes the pellets float, bettas like to eat from the waters surface

Can i feed it sometime to Jack Dempsey

The package says for fish greater than 3 inches long. We've fed it to oscars and african cichlids
