TetraBetta PLUS Floating Mini Pellets

TetraBetta PLUS Floating Mini Pellets are a daily staple for Siamese fighting fish (betta splendens) and other top-water feeding tropical fish. This is the 1.2 ounces container (model 77256).

Made for surface feeders

Bettas feed from the surface, and their upturned mouths are built for it. These mini pellets float, along with a blend of tiny, colorful floating crisps, so the food stays where a betta naturally looks for it.

Nutrition

Tetra builds the formula high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids for energy and growth, as a balanced everyday diet. It also includes natural color enhancers to support the rich colors bettas are known for.

Clear water

The advanced clear water formula is meant to help keep water clear. That matters in the small tanks most bettas live in, where a few uneaten pellets can affect water quality quickly.

Feeding tips

• Feed a few pellets once or twice a day.
• Offer only what your betta eats within a couple of minutes.
• Remove leftovers with a pipette or net.
• Soak pellets briefly in tank water if your betta tends to bloat.

Variety

A pellet staple covers the basics, but bettas do well with variety. Rotate in a flake such as Tetra BettaMin or a shrimp-based food like Ultra Fresh Betta Pro a few times a week.

Who it suits

Betta keepers looking for a widely available daily pellet, and owners of other top-feeding tropicals such as hatchetfish or some gouramis. Picky bettas that ignore pellets may take the crisps more readily, since they are lighter and drift slowly. Keep the lid sealed between feedings to protect freshness, and replace an opened container after a few months.

A betta’s stomach is roughly the size of its eye, which is why a few pellets per meal is plenty.
