Hikari Tropical Betta Bio-Gold Food

Hikari Tropical Betta Bio-Gold Food is a floating betta food in pellet form, developed to suit the nutritional needs of all types of bettas. It is made for owners who want a complete daily diet for a pet betta (Siamese fighting fish), built on research into how bettas eat and what they need.

Key Benefits

• Developed after considerable research into the eating habits and nutritional requirements of bettas, then fine-tuned to suit them.
• Premium select fish meal provides a superior protein source.
• Astaxanthin and Spirulina help enhance your betta's natural coloration.
• Flavour attractants, such as garlic, promote rapid acceptance, which helps with fussy feeders.
• A high concentration of useable nutrients makes it suitable as an everyday diet for your fighting fish.
• Floating pellets suit the way bettas feed at the surface.

How to Use

Offer the pellets as your betta's regular daily food. Take care not to overfeed. Bettas are known to be finicky eaters and often resist new foods, so persist with it. Continued use will ensure acceptance, and it is not uncommon for a betta to take up to 5 days to adjust to a new food. The manufacturer's website has more specific feeding instructions based on the size of your betta.

Dosage

• Feed 5 to 10 pellets up to 3 times daily, depending on the size of your betta.
• Avoid over-feeding.

Suitable For

• All types of bettas.
• Daily feeding of a pet betta.
• Bettas that are slow to accept new foods, thanks to the garlic flavour attractant.

Compatibility

For variety, the manufacturer also recommends other premium diets that bettas enjoy: Micro Pellets, Bio-Pure Frozen Blood Worms and Bio-Pure FD Freeze Dried Blood Worms.
