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.

Hmm... be something I may want to pick up. I've seen them at PetSmart.

I want to see if Drax has any more colors to show me haha.

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

Food dosen't bring out as much color as water quality does...IAL is hands down the best color enhancer there is.

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:
