About This Item

Details

  • Create a fun, interactive environment with Aqueon Pure Betta Beads featuring a soft texture that encourages the natural foraging behavior of bettas for mental stimulation.
  • Betta Beads come in a variety of colors to match your aquatic aesthetic.
  • These beads are formulated with beneficial bacteria and enzymes that help balance aquatic environments and reduce organic sludge for clear water.
  • If Betta Beads shrink prematurely, this is an indicator that the water hardness in the habitat is not optimal for your betta, which promptly indicates your pal needs a water refresh.

Questions & Answers

9 Customer Questions

Can you still put these in a filtered tank?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 29, 2021
These beads are designed for use in unfiltered betta habitats.

Hey can I use this in addition to gravel ? Or is this product meant to be used alone as the gravel ?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 13, 2021
Aqueon PURE Betta Beads are intended for use as aquarium gravel.

Are these safe to use with mystery snails ?

Answer by Chewy • May 13, 2021
These beads are safe to use with mystery snails.

You’re supposed to replace every month with a new pack of beads?

Answer by Chewy • May 25, 2022
It is recommended to replace the beads monthly and remove uneaten food for optimal results. If betta beads shrink prematurely, this is a quick indicator that the water hardness is not optimal for your betta. We recommend changing the water with soft (deionized or specially filtered) betta waters.

Bought these thinking they would help keep my beta, and make him better. Immediately within hours of adding them she became lethargic, and non responsive. A few days later she is dead. Fish was one of the strongest and hardiest that have had. Smart and friendly. Whatever is in these also killed one of her tank mates a tetra as well. Do not buy or use if you love your fish. Would rate zero stars if I could!

I usually buy the blue beads but I’ve also used the pink for my beta boy. He loves these beads, almost playing in them. They do exactly what they promise and shrink after a couple of weeks. I usually clean my beta’s hard water fish bowl every two weeks and the water stays clear that long with only a fine film on top of the water. I also use colored glass beads with the beta beads for some extra pop in his bowl.

We used these bubbles for almost a year. We had the pink ones which worked perfectly.Then the blue, but they didnt shrink as the pink. The green we tried last but something must have gotten wrong, he died two days later. He was a young fish.
