Betta food

[vamodel]

I just started to give my 2 Bettas 2 diff kinds of food I give them the Wardley premium food in the day and Aqua Color-Enhancing
Fish food at night. My fish will not eat the one I give in the day
he likes the other one better is that ok to give him that I like ti give him both.

Someone gave me a container of Wardley's betta food and my guys looked at me like I was trying to poison them.

So I tried HBH which they didn't mind but weren't exactly thrilled to be eating so I switched them to Hikari and they just love it but buying even the largest available container carried by most fishstores was a pain plus expensive. When I tried to order the 1 kilogram bag of Hikari I was told that it was no longer available. *sniffle*

I found out about a new betta food on the market a few weeks ago. It's from Ocean Nutrition and was formulated by a gentleman named Mr. Atison who's a renowned Thai betta breeder (he's been involved with bettas for over 40 years)

They have 3 different types of betta food available:

betta starter (designed for fry from 3 days old to about 1 month of age)

contents: marine protein, cereal meals, plant proteins, fish oils, algae, lecithin, yeasts and antioxidants

analysis:

protein (min) 55%, lipids (min) 9%, fiber (max) 1.9%, moisure (max) .8%, ash (max) 14.5%, Sum(t)3 HUFA (min) 25mg/g dwt, DHA/EPA (min) 1.8% and Phospholipids (min) 2.5%

regular betta pellets

contents:

fish meal, wheat flour, soy meal, krill meal, pigments, vitamins and preservatives

analysis:

crude protein (min) 36.5%, crude fat (min) 6%, crude fiber (max) 2%, moisture (max) 5.5%, ash (max) 15.5%

betta "pro" version especially designed for breeders but can be fed to bettas from 1 month of age upwards

contents:

pure brine shrimp embryos, wheat flour, vitamins (stabalized ascorbic acid, vitamine e supplement, niacin, thiamine mononitrate, folic acid, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, menadione sodium bisulfite complex, vitamin A acetate, pyrodoxine HCL, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement, biotin), and preservatives (calcium propionate, ethoxyquin)

analysis:

cruide protein (min) 39.9%, crude fat (min) 8.6%, crude fiber (max) 4.4%, moisture (max) 7.7%, ash (max) 7.6%


I now have all 3 of those betta foods here (I got the betta pro in the 500gram foil pack for a very good price) and my guys just love the regular betta pellets and the betta pro pellets. The pellet sizes are smaller then both Hikari's and HBH's so they're suitable for almost any sized adult betta plus Atison's pellets float alot longer then Hikari's or HBH's pellets. (this is good cause we all know how much bettas hate eating off the bottom of their tanks)

Once I setup another spawning tank and hopefully get fry then we'll see how well the betta starter is.
