I recommend Omega One. Higher quality nutrition and ingredients. Not to mention NLS doesn't have a betta food, only small fish and tropical, fish that aren't like bettas and carnivorous. Available at PetCo for both though, at least in mine and online.
First off, NLS does have betta specific food. They have an entire product line for alllllll kinds of fish. Second, every time I've seen a food quality comparison, NLS wins, with omega one being a close second.
Actually, NLS has better ingredients. No wheat gluten, and whole fish/shrimp! NLS does have a betta formula. Link. NLS has a fish color enhancer, so yerp.
Sorry Artemis, but NLS is better food. NLS HAS garlic, spirulina, veggies, and lots of whole high quality fishes. Omega one doesn't have those extra bonus things, and it has wheat gluten and ethoxyquin.
Yes better if you are talking about a dog but look at the VEGGIES. Betta's are carnivores. Spirulina wouldn't be eaten. However, it does have color enhancers but in theory if a good diet is given, the fish keep good color. They state themselves that most of their diets are the same. That means that you are feeding an animal that is a herbivore and one that is a carnivore the same thing and one of them if not both, will suffer. IMO this is a company that boasts on color only.
What is the big deal with ethoxyquin? If it is "known to cause cancer in California" I would still feed it to my and I would eat it myself.
I just went and got it at my local PetCo today. If you'd like I would be happy to buy some and ship to you (if you paid me back for the shipping and food cost). I'm guessing you can get it online too, but just thought I'd throw that option out for you. It was $7.49 pre tax (6%).
For me? Oh thanks so much for offering to do that! But my Petco actually carries it too...And I just realized that I don't knoe why I didn't mention Petco to the OP XD
I have NLS pellets made for tropical fish, not specifically Bettas.
I got mine at PET*CO for $9.99, you can find them on the Pet*Co website or in the store.
Soooo I apologize for not posting here, I had been away for most of the time since I first posted (or I was just not wanting to take part in the food discussion ).
I just ordered some NLS from a user on here already so thank you everyone posted
And if it does work or even if my fish just love it, I will get more at Petco
