I've got frozen bloodworms, daphnias, and mysis which was a total bust. He's only interested in daphnias haha. Thanks for the advice! Ill keep you updated.
What type of pellets are you feeding to your betta?
Sounds like you have got tons of treats. All those bloodworms, daphnias, etc. should only be used as occasion treats. Don't feed them as daily diet. I usually feed my fish treats only once or twice a week in the place of their regular diet.

Don't feed the pellets. Live brine shrimp is primarily water and roughage and ideal for clearing through the intestine
Are you suggesting him to buy live adult brine shrimps or baby brine shrimps?
Newly hatched baby brine shrimp is high in protein, and they are only for fish fry (or) as an occasion treat for adult fish.
If it is baby brine shrimp, I wouldn't feed an adult betta more than twice a week.
Adult brine shrimp could be too big for a small mouth fish like a betta to swallow. Unless this particular betta is good at ripping things apart.
