PLEASE keep in mind, the fish go nuts over the Aqueon and it's so super small I don't have to crush the pellets for my younger boys. The others are HUGE lol

Of those choices, I would go with Aqueon. It seems to have the most fish products in it. Definitely not Wardley.

[Pitluvs]

Aqeuon is liked by the boys, larger container and twice as expensive... that's what we'll go with until we can get the NLS online. It's about $30 a bottle locally for me O_o

Wardley was what I was feeding Venom and Carnage :(

My boys LOVE Aqeuon, and if you have a betta with a small mouth, the pellets are smaller than most.

[Pitluvs]

I found out yesterday that Ben and Twitch are from a local breeder, and Hughie is a shipment Betta. So Ben is still quite young, and prefers his food crushed. Twitch is recovering so his are crushed too. The Aqeuon is MUCH smaller. I am so happy a member suggested it to me and where to find it here.

O.O $30!!!!!! I got 2 bottles for $6! But be careful, I didn't even get close to running out after a year passed and Russell died from it I think... :(

[bettaloverforever16]

I highly doubt your betta died from that food, it's one of the best food brands. Maybe he was sick to begin with, or you got a bad batch?

[Fermin]

Aqueon.

[fishman12]

It had been open for more than a year, it was spoiled, but I didn't realize.

[audjree]

i use aqueon as well! (: my betta (and my betta before) just scarfs it down. haha i also like the size of it. but wow, $30?! crazy. haha i got a bottle of aqueon pellets, which came with aqueon betta bowl plus water conditioner. pretty good deal, except they barely give you any water conditioner.
