Aqueon Pure Betta Beads, Blue

Aqueon PURE Betta Beads are designed to provide a beneficial environment for bettas in unfiltered aquariums. These soft, biodegradable balls contain live bacteria and enzymes that help maintain a healthy, balanced ecosystem.

The live bacteria aids in breaking down organic sludge, improving water clarity and quality. This, in turn, creates a more favorable habitat for the betta. The beads also serve as a form of environmental enrichment, encouraging the betta's natural foraging behavior as they dive in and out of the "ball pit" like gravel.

For optimal results, it is recommended to replace the betta beads once a month, adding one pouch per gallon of water, and performing a 25% water change every two weeks. If the beads shrink prematurely, it is a sign that the water hardness is not ideal for the betta, and the water should be replaced with a softer, more suitable alternative, such as deionized or specially filtered betta water.

The Aqueon PURE Betta Beads provide a convenient and effective way to maintain a healthy, balanced environment for bettas in unfiltered aquariums. The live beneficial bacteria and enzymes help break down organic matter, while the soft, biodegradable beads offer a fun and enriching activity for the betta, promoting its natural behaviors.

Regular replacement of the beads and water changes are essential for keeping the betta's environment in optimal condition. By following these guidelines, aquarium owners can ensure their bettas thrive in a clean, well-maintained habitat.
