Atison Betta Starter

[SFF1]

Hi

Just wondered if anybody had tried the Atison Betta Starter and what you thought of it?

Thanks

[Sarah]

Sorry I've never tried it.

What does it contain?

[SFF1]

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

[Sarah]

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:

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]

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

[Neffy]

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.

[SFF1]

Thanks Neffy

I'm just about to start another spawn in a week or so, so I think I'll get some and try it.

CHEERS

[Sarah]

MMMM... Spawn coming up!

What pair are you planing with?

[Neffy]

nps ! you may need to grind them up a little depending on when u introduce it but they are small

[SFF1]

Just purchased a pair of Crowntails

[Sarah]

LOVE THEM! someone-Leas fish are amazing!

Good luck with the spawn, their fry will be gorgeous! :bighug:

[SFF1]

Thanks Neffy I've ordered the Betta starter and I'll try it on my 3 wk old fry tomorrow

thanks Sarah

[Sarah]

You've already got fry?

[SFF1]

The pair in question hopefully arrive tomorrow. The fry I'm referring to as these ones.

[Sarah]

Nice parents. So are you into the blacks are dark coloured Bettas?

[SFF1]

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.

[Sarah]

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

[SFF1]

Nice VTs. I'll let you know how the Betta Starter goes

[Sarah]

Thanks. Maybe I'll use it sometime.

[Bec]

Very nice new fish MikeB :drool:

[SFF1]

Thanks Bec. I just have to do a good job breeding them now.

[Sarah]

I'm sure you will do a wonderful job Mike.

You've spawned before, so you know what to expect.
