Aqueon Betta Beads Purple, One Pouch
Description
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
One of the beads broke in the tank and my betta ate a small piece. Is it going to be okay? What should I do?
- I don’t think it will be a problem but I’m only a customer not a fish expert. My 3 bettas are one year old now. I’ve used the beads with them not eating them. Maybe your buddy is a little hungrier. So watch him as you put in a pellet of food.

Are these beads ok to add to A guppy aquarium or are they Only for Betta tanks?
- Hey there! Yes, this will work in a guppy aquarium.

What happens if a fish eats them? Should I remove the beads if it becomes a habit?
- The hydrated beads are too large for an average betta to ingest. Betta Beads should last approximately 30 days before needing to be replaced. However, if you notice the beads have reduced significantly in size or your fish is able to ingest them – this is an indication that the water quality may not be optimal for your betta. Hard water is the main cause for Betta Beads shrinking prematurely, we recommend replacing the betta beads immediately and using a softer water source (such as betta water).
