Question here.
Does colour enhancers(pellets, flakes) for betta really improve the colours of the betta?
What are other food and stuff that can improve your betta's colours?
Yes! I use Topfin Color Enhancing Betta Bits and they brightened his body up within days. All of my supplies are Top Fin and if you're new to betta keeping I would totally recommend any Top Fin product.
I wish I had taken before / after pics but will say the Hikari Bio Gold pellets most definitely brought out the color on my betta. Noticed the change within a week.
Hikari Betta Bio-Gold
Powerful color-enhancing diet provides your betta with optimal nutrition in a floating pellet that won't cloud the water in your betta bowl
Specially formulated for bettas, with a superior protein source
I agree- Hikari is great. You can notice the change of color very easily, and I've never had a betta refuse one of the pellets, which is always a bonus if you have a picky boy/girl
I love Hiraki pellets, though my Petsmart doesn't carry their products. I first got a sample packet in a Bowl Buddies water conditioner box. My fish never refused them. I was going to use flakes, but used the sample packet for a while, and when that ran out, switched to the flakes. My fish hated the flakes, and it made the water quality horrible. So I only stick with pellets.
I use Topfin as I hadn't found Hikari being sold until AFTER I bought all my food, but it seems to work quite well. My bettas are always quite vibrant.
I use topfin betta bits too. I believe it works cause all mine are bright as can be but I do wonder if it just says that just because, or if there really is something in it that brings out their color
Ive been looking around at what is in TopFin Compaired to others and they have the most mixed veriety of fish in those little pellots. Along with the most Crude Protien I could see comparing it to others.
Hikari changed their formula, and it's now full of things you kinda don't wanna be feeding your bettas, like MSGs. i still feed my babies that, though, but only once a week. the other days, i feed a mix, either Attison's betta pellets or New Life Spectrum grow or Betta formula. Dante, my delta, went from a dull grey-brown to his beautiful silvery grey in a day! :3
Thank you for all your replies! I did use Hikari pellets before, but sadly they changed their formula, from fish protein to wheat flour. I researched abit and found out that banana leaves can also improve the colour of the Betta.
Who cares if <insert brand here> changed their formula. Does the new ingredient improve colors or not is all I care about. Said formula can have 900pct crude protein with nothing but rare ingredients on their label for all I care, bottomline is if my fish don't like the taste and/or does not work as advertised (ex. improve color)...it won't be purchased :lol:
Black water is for Indian Almond Leaves. When dried banana leaves are submerged in water, they tend to cloud the water.
