best food for bettas

[hannguyen]

I saw New Life Spectrum Betta Formula at my local petco

[vilmarisv]

Petco usually carries NLS... it's good too but sinks quickly

[Perseusmom]

Yeah thats the only thing I dont like about NLS it that is does sink to quick so I always be sure and drop it right in front of Perseus or tap the water for him to come over to the spot I want him to eat where I can see good enough to make sure he gets it before it sinks and he always does.

ohhh.... i gotta find myself a petco then haha, omega one sinks pretty fast too

The bio gold I got is pretty good at stay floating

[LebronTheBetta]

Bio-Gold changed their ingredients and now it's not good :( I recommend New Life Spectrum. It doesn't have wheat gluten which is a cheap filler to boost the protein! ^.^ Mine floats well, though. That's unusual...

didnt they change their ingredients though so its not nearly as good now?

[hannguyen]

They did ? I realize that it has less than 40% of protein in it that's why Im feeding my Betta the omega one flakes along with the bio gold

[LebronTheBetta]

Yes, they did. NLS has 37% as minimum protein, but that's plenty! Your food has a lot of protein because of a cheap filler called wheat gluten. Search in the ingredients. NLS doesn't have it! :D

I got the Omega One Flakes because their ingredients sound decent to me, Black Cod and Salmon...But they do have wheat gluten in them!
