Aqueon Pure Betta Beads, Green

So easy to use!

The media could not be loaded.  Introducing this product to my betta’s habitat has made the little guy much happier thanks to all the foraging [he thinks] he’s doing. I’ve also observed a noticeable difference in water quality since adding this to his aquarium; seems to be cleaner. I definitely recommend this to anyone with a betta. It not only simulates behavior activities from its natural environment but it promotes ideal water conditions suitable for betta. Plus it is cheap and will last several weeks before needing replaced.

We bought these for our new betta's tank. Within 24 hours, he was dead. As I was cleaning out his tank, alot of the balls were crushed into tiny pieces. We won't be using these again.

I sent these as a gift to a distant family member, who really wanted them for her 5 gallon tank that houses, her beta fish that she loves dearly. I will assume they worked out perfectly as she has used them before. 5*****

These last about 2 weeks in our betta fishbowl. Our betta loves stirring them up and playing in them. Just wish they last longer. I clean his bowl about every 2 weeks and always have to change the betta beads at that time.

I am a huge advocate of what I call betta rescuing (aka purchasing them to keep the little guys from spending their life in a cup on a shelf). While rescuing my most recent betta, I stumbled upon these beads boasting an enzyme that assists in breaking down waste and uneaten food, providing minerals the fish needs to brighten scale coloring and extending their life. Well, I'm sold after that. Though skeptical, I have noticed I haven't had to clean my betta's bowl as often, I'm seen him being more active, and he has so much fun swimming around in the colored bubbles/beads. Be aware, over time these beads shrink I assume because they lose the enzyme that puffs them up?? I'm not a scientist, but all this to say to remove the used beads before adding more because they are low. Adding more beads the the shriveled ones still in the bowl will case the old ones to puff back up to their original size from the new enzymes being added to the bowl. Water displacement occurs and will overflow the bowl and/or remove free space for your betta to swim around. Hope that makes sense. My betta and I like these beads and will continue to use them. They are my medium of choice now.

Washed them more than once but water is too cloudy so we tossed them.

I actually keep these in my house. I buy them every time I’m about to run out. I don’t put the whole bag in the tank but I would say the bag is a three time use. I just dumped some in when I see them start to go away at the bottom of the tank. It helps with the water in the tank for fish and I haven’t had any problem with it.

The product was worse for wear as it was just in an Amazon bag.some of the balls were crushed and I haven't seen them go like the picture shows right from the bag before. Probably better to buy these instore.But, Jaws is happy so that's good!

It does not state until you get the pack not to use with filters so no good for my aquarium. Company however stated I could keep but it's gone in the bin as no good for my aquarium.

They shrunk in less than 24 hours to pellet size, my betta ate them. He couldn't pass them I had to watch him suffer for days before he died a slow and undoubtedly painful death! DO NOT USE THESE PLEASE!!!
