Aqueon Betta Beads Blue, One Pouch
Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
Aqueon PURE Betta Beads contain beneficial bacteria that help maintain a healthy environment in unfiltered aquariums. The beneficial bacteria aids in maintaining a balanced environment while the enzymes help breakdown organic sludge for better water clarity. These soft biodegradable balls create a fun enrichment activity for bettas while also encouraging their natural foraging behavior. Watch your betta play in the beads like a fun ball pit as they dive in and out. Replace the beads monthly and remove uneaten food for optimal results. If betta beads shrink prematurely, this is a quick indicator that the water hardness is not optimal for your betta. We recommend changing the water with soft (deionized or specially filtered) betta waters.

Questions
I have used these in a filtered tank since September. They were fine and our betta loved to play with them. We did a water change and used conditioned water from the pet store, they have shrunk up which they never did before. The water is good and healthy
- Hi there. Actually, our Pure beads are intended to shrink over time. If you have any additional inquiries or questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at 1-888-255-4527.

Can I use the Betta Beads in a 10-gallon filtered tank? And, if so, can I just add one package?

Are the beads safe for live plants? I stick to live ones because plastic plants have only hurt and torn my betta's fins :(
- Hi there! They will not impact the plants. However, please note that the beads are low density, so they won't really help in rooting the plants.
