Northfin Betta Bits, 1 mm, 20 g

Update 10/12/17: I have been feeding this food every other day in combination with another food and my bettas have been very active, colorful, curious, alert, and had no issues of bloat. This food is one of the best, I have done a lot of research trying to find good food for my fishes and here is why this food in my opinion is good. First Omega One Betta Buffet pellets, I read reviews and reviews of others swearing by this food so I took a look at the ingredients the 2 things that were a big red flag is that Omega One food has BHT and BHA preservatives which have been known to promote tumor growth. I have no idea why Omega One is praised so highly I've read so many bad things about these preservatives and rather not risk it. So Omega One was out, then I took a look at New Life Spectrum. Now New Life Spectrum is a good food, one of the best that is until the company decided to change it. The food is no longer the right size for a betta which is the problem, it doesn't matter how good the food is if the fish can't eat it so until this issue is fixed I cannot recommend New Life Spectrum Betta Formula but only the betta formula. Some say to feed live, raw, or frozen but there are several risk that comes with those types of foods like parasites it can also be too rich and unbalanced to use as a daily diet for bettas that are not show or breeders. On top of that it can be more time consuming, expensive, and make a mess causing the tank to become polluted. Remember these are not wild fish these are domesticated so I rather use a pellet type food as a main diet and bloodworms as a once a week treat. Northfin not only has good ingredients compared to others but the size is perfect for any betta even my younger female betta can eat these no problem and she is about a little over an inch long. I've also been feeding this food without soaking and have not had any bloat problems with my fishes. I've had no issues with this food sinking before my bettas can eat it but I feed my bettas with a long stick and gently place the pellets in the water this also train my bettas to follow the stick in case I need to catch them in a cup to remove them from their tanks this way I never need to net them.

Fed this food for first time today. I’ve never seen him eat so enthusiastically. The ingredients are high quality. Have tried other brands but he wouldn’t eat them. So happy I found this. Pellets are perfect size. Pellets float quite well but one did start to sink but didn’t matter he dove after it!

When we got our daughter a betta fish for her birthday, he was in pretty bad shape and looked to be on his last leg (daughter wanted to give it a nice home and try to make it better). We tried different foods and brands, but the little guy would barely touch those. After some research and reading recommendations from betta fish sites, this food made it to the top of the list. I ordered it, and the betta fish LOVED the food. He has also made a miraculous comeback. His color came back and it was a bright, vivid blue with red on the tips of his fins, and his fins have now tripled in size from the little stubs they were. This is the only food he will eat. It floats well, doesn't expand much at all when it hits the water, and is a good size pellet. I have recommended this food to a family member who just got two bettas and those bettas love it also. Price may be a little more than other foods, but so far this pack has lasted us quite a few months. It's also good quality so I don't mind the little extra expense. Will continue getting this.

The ingredients are premium. Pellet size is very good (small) and easy to for my fish to eat. They do sink fast if fish touches them without eating it right away. Only floats due to surface tension and is a pain to have to remove pellet that sank. There is not a lot of binding agents that help it to float. The zip lock pouch will help keep it fresh longer, but opening is small and makes it hard to get out pellets. I pour out small amounts into another container to make it easier to use. I alternate with Tetra small pellets that he also likes. They float well and the container is much easier to use. So North Fin product is harder to use but seems to have better ingredients than Tetra Betta pellets. So,1 star off for poor floating.

My five beautiful adult betta fish go absolutely crazy for this food, they will gobble it up super fast and demand more (but of course they can't have more till next meal time lol)! The pellets are all pretty tiny, and seem to be around the same size (uniformly sized pieces) so could work well for juvenile betta, but might have to feed a few extra pellets for an adult (I feed 6-10 pellets per day to my adult bettas, depending on how rounded/full their betta bellies look). I made the mistake of having bought the crap junk commercial betta foods such as Aqueon brand, and Omega One (yes even that one which has generally good reviews has toxic preserves in it) from Petsmart/Petco, which after some research I discovered is full of horrible fillers and toxic preservatives so I looked for a "cleaner" and higher-quality betta food. Well this seems to be the good stuff without the nasty preserves and fillers except for Wheat Flour, which Bettas probably can't digest, but that's just 1 thing out of the rest of good stuff, and no other betta food brands can really say the same to my knowledge. Only thing is I wish it was in a little plastic food container instead of a pouch, but perhaps the foil pouch is to help keep the food fresh (since it doesn't have the nasty preservatives that other brands use). TOSS/donate your other crap commercial betta foods and GET THIS instead, your betta will love you all the more for it :)

I have a Halfmoon King who isn't wild about Aqueon Betta pellets or Fluval Betta Bugbites which was frustrating. My other two Bettas strike hard at that food and are easy to feed with a simple food rotation. This was recommended for pickier or more sensitive fish. These are a little smaller, but have a stronger smell than my other Betta foods, which is what I think did the trick. The second these hit the water he snapped them up like a vicious predator, haha. He also similarly strikes at New Life Spectrum Betta pellets which are a similar size and also smell strongly. His colors are absolutely vivid now that he is eating well and he is much more energetic. Some Bettas are just used to certain foods.

I had one betta with some sort of issue that was making it constantly float to the surface. I tried three different types of food with no important and ofc kept an eye on the water. It was only when I started feeding him this that he stopped floating. He's healthy and extremely happy now that I just feed him this. My only tiny problem with the food is that some of the pieces are stuck together, so you'll have two pellets instead of one. Not a big deal. You also get a LOT of food, so all in all it's worth buying.

I bought these because I read they were good at floating. Nope. Not true. The majority of these pellets will sink STRAIGHT to the bottom. I've had one or two rest on the surface for about a minute, but that's it. Furthermore, it's really awkward to grab these out of the bag. It's so tiny you end up using one finger to press them up against the inner layer of the bag and pull up. It's just such a weird way to dispense these. That's kind of a moot point, but the sinking is a definite bummer. Will not be buying these again.

I I have tried several different foods for my betta and this seems to be the only food my betta likes he'll pick up other foods but this one he goes wild for!! The results speak for themselves! Plus these actually do float on the surface of the water whereas a lot of others that claim to will not again I've wasted my money on several different brands of food now! And the granule size is just perfect for my adult betta fish!!

Betta fish does love the food
