SFF1 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hi Just wondered if anybody had tried the Atison Betta Starter and what you thought of it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Sorry I've never tried it. What does it contain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFF1 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Here's the run down on it Sarah. Betta Starter It sounds alright but this is just what the manufacturer has to say I'm just after some independent opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hmmm... seems OK, but like your said, that is just what the manufacturer says. I don't know hopefully someone else who has tried this will come and explain what they thought. I think you might as well try it though. On the other hand, I would probably just stick to live feed, actual food not: Marine proteins, cereal meals, plant proteins, fish oils, algae, lecithin, yeasts, antioxidants. Doesn't seem to natural there, but that is just me. Good luck! Anyone else tried it? :anyone: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neffy Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have some, its easy thats the best part for me it is pretty small my current spawn is eating it they are about 8 weeks old younger then that could easily take it but i dont know about 3days old like it says.

SFF1 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Thanks Neffy I was wondering what age you think they will take it? Sounds like 3 days is too young? Also just wondering if it floats or just falls to the bottom like MW. Have you noticed what their growth is like? or are you feeding them other foods as well? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neffy Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Im not sure what age i didnt have it when my fish where younger maybe 2 weeks would be ok to try on. it floats really well i havent seen it sink yet the fish clear it up before then. Im feeding in conjunction with chopped up Freeze dried blackworm, Instant bbs (this is really tiny for them now tho they still eat it) and flakes ground up between my fingers. Growth has been on target so far it is starting to slow down but im blaming lack of water changes, they just survived 3 days with no food while i was on holiday.

Sarah Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Nice parents. So are you into the blacks are dark coloured Bettas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFF1 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Sarah. Not really. I got the first male from Bec. He was a great dad. He's actually got red and blue but it's hard to see in the video. I do like CTs though and had been keeping an eye out for a Black Orchid for sometime. So I suppose when I saw this one it was a no brainer. Edited October 5, 2010 by MikeB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Ah, I see... I love ALL Bettas, but particularly like butterflies. I love CT too. Good luck again with the Black Orchid. I just got my first pair of someone, a butterfly VT pair. I think they are wonderful, especially since it is my first spawn. Start out with VT and all. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
