I am a huge advocate of what I call betta rescuing (aka purchasing them to keep the little guys from spending their life in a cup on a shelf). While rescuing my most recent betta, I stumbled upon these beads boasting an enzyme that assists in breaking down waste and uneaten food, providing minerals the fish needs to brighten scale coloring and extending their life. Well, I'm sold after that. Though skeptical, I have noticed I haven't had to clean my betta's bowl as often, I'm seen him being more active, and he has so much fun swimming around in the colored bubbles/beads. Be aware, over time these beads shrink I assume because they lose the enzyme that puffs them up?? I'm not a scientist, but all this to say to remove the used beads before adding more because they are low. Adding more beads the the shriveled ones still in the bowl will case the old ones to puff back up to their original size from the new enzymes being added to the bowl. Water displacement occurs and will overflow the bowl and/or remove free space for your betta to swim around. Hope that makes sense. My betta and I like these beads and will continue to use them. They are my medium of choice now. Read more

Seemed to help fish but then hard to clean the little balls up when they're all done Read more

The beads were nice and pretty. My fish liked laying on them. He did not play with them or anything, but he would rest on them. The only issue is that within a week the beads would shrink to be really small and they would get stuck in my filter and it would Cause my filter to have some issues. Also, a few beads were already broken before I put them in the tank and those broken pieces got stuck in the filter. So just be cautious of the size and if they get too small, start removing them.
