finding the best betta food in the uk

Post by travisor »

Hi,
What are the top choices for Betta food in the UK?
I'm looking for some recommendations from fellow keepers.

I used to feed my betta Northfin Betta Bits, which worked well for him. Northfin is a Canadian company, but I found a UK seller with an Ebay shop too. Another option I came across is New Life Spectrum's Betta Formula, currently available on Ebay.

The two brands sSjey mentioned are pretty good options. I recall reading some reviews where Northfin got a 6-star rating, and New Life Spectrum got 5 stars. However, I've found that New Life Spectrum food can be quite hard, and some fish just won't touch it.

If you're not fussy about the brand, you could also consider more readily available options like Tetra, Hikari, or Sera. Their ratings might not be as high, but they'll do the job.

You can also look into the ingredients and nutrients of these foods by checking out the websites of Northfin, New Life Spectrum, Hikari, Tetra, Ocean Nutrition, Dr Bassleer, and so on.

One thing I like about New Life Spectrum is that they add fruits to their fish food, which I find interesting.

It's also important to know what nutrients your fish require. For example, young Discus need higher protein, which is why I opted for Dr Bassleer Regular Biofood, as it has higher protein content.
