Ocean Nutrition Betta SPA Water Conditioner USA Made - 4.22 FL OZ (125 ml)

I'm going to be coming back to update my review as time goes on, but I just had to write something immediately about Betta SPA. This stuff is magical. My three females have been looking really lethargic for the past week while their tank has been cycling and I thought I was going to lose one of them who did nothing but float near the surface of the water, not moving at all. I'd been doing half water changes every day using another water conditioner and that seemed to help gill inflammation, but they were all floating with fins closed, not interested in food, etc. I bought a full test kit and found that the pH and ammonia levels were both high. I did another quarter water change and added a double dose of Betta SPA (as per their instructions for conditioning, not maintenance). It barely tinted the water at all but remains clear so frankly the color doesn't bother me a bit. What I am noticing, however, is that my bettas are suddenly swimming around again, almost immediately upon adding Betta SPA! Their fins are out and they look active, even my sickliest female. Only time will tell if this is a true turnaround, but I am thrilled to see them looking 100% improved in a few minutes' time. Betta SPA handles both pH and ammonia, so I guess that did the trick for my girls!

I had to do an emergency water change due to the fact that my Beta did not like using Aqua Clear 2 day's in a row (didn't wait for a cycle and cheated) He reacted badly so I transferred him to another tank and changed his home's water. I transferred back and he HATED that. So, he went into his cave for 3 days and I thought that he was finished. I tried this product and in 1/2 hour he was out and swimming normally. Buy it, it works :)

This made my beta thrive! No other product has brought out his colors as much, made him so energetic and healthy. The on.y problem is that it is incredibly hard to find! I bought it here originally and since its been out of order here for a while, I've have COMBED the Internet in search for it but its just nowhere to be found. If anyone finds it anywhere, please let us know where! EDIT: Apparently Ocean Nutrition (the company that makes this) were moving production from China to the US which is why they've been MIA for a while. Im not sure how true this is, but thats what I was told. They are slowly restocking, YAY.

I seem to one of only two or three people who've had a bad result with this product, but our Buster the Betta does not seem to like it. He came to us from Petco with fin rot. We used 2 tsp. dissolved kosher salt plus one drop of Betta Fix, plus 10 drops water conditioner in a 2 gallon bowl with every water change: 100% change every week. The little guy brightened up and his fins grew back beautifully. He greeted me at the side of the bowl at feeding time, liked his Petco Betta food and went crazy for bloodworms. After one-half dose of Atison's Betta Spa, he seems lathargic, not interested in his food and is even leaving his bloodworms uneaten. He spends more time hiding in his aquarium plants and is not as curious as usual. One plus: he works hard on his bubble nest and this product helps him make enormous foamy bubbles that stick together. I'm switching back to the food we got at Petco. In his water, back to 1 tsp dissolved kosher salt, 10 drops of water conditionner, and one drop of Betta Fix with each water change, every week. Buster seems to be happier that way. The only thing he'll miss is the huge glue-y bubble nests.

When I started pouring it in the water, my betta went directly to it. He doesn’t do that with most additives. I smelled the bottle; a lovely natural almond smell. One thing I wish was a bit better; I wish it was more potent or concentrated. Color is very subtle. They recommend 5mL per 2L. That doesn’t go very far! None of my bettas are in less than 30L, so the bottle is all gone 10 minutes after I bought it. Still, a lovely product. Manufacturer: Please make a more concentrated version!

I bought this to try to get my Betta's fins to grow longer since he had fin rot 8 months ago and they are growing slowly. Before I used this product he would build bubble nests daily and was perky (totally healthy). I was cautious to just add half the dose but noticed he seemed a little restless and had bursts of energy but suddenly start sleeping more. He even stopped making bubble nests. I thought it was due to us having a lot of action due to birthday parties and thought nothing of it. Two water changes later I decided to try it again, but with the full dose and noticed in about two hours that he was darting around. I took out a test strip and sure enough his ph dropped to a 6. Luckily I was able to catch it early and change out/ aerate his water. It's been a week since that incident and he's back to making bubbles (I put in less than the amount for maintenance).

This stuff is great. It's a nice alternative for people like myself that can't easily obtain Indian Almond leaves, or are nervous about adding potential foreign bacteria and hitchhiking inverts to their setup. My betta has been even more perky and lively since adding this to his water, and his color has noticeably improved! He seems to really enjoy it. I've had many betta fish over the years, and I can tell that this has made an improvement. Sir Vincent "Champagne Supernova" van Gogh seems to be much happier and healthier than any of my previous fish, and this conditioner is the only thing that has changed. He explores his territory all day, occasionally stopping to defend it from an imaginary monster, and he builds HUGE bubble nests in his attempts to attract imaginary lady bettas. I've not had a single case of fin rot since adding it, and he's stopped tail biting to boot! Awesome stuff. This is definitely going to be a staple in my betta setups from now on.

My betta was nipping his fins pretty bad due to stress from too many changes to his tank (entirely my fault). I did a week's treatment of aquarium salt and that made a huge difference. However, I wanted to introduce live plants to his tank but had to take out all his plants if there was salt in the water. I tried to introduce new plants and he started nipping again. Apparently he's not so keen on change! Not wanting to take all his stuff out, do another salt treatment, and then put his plants back in and risk him nipping again, I looked for alternatives. Initially I looked at Indian almond leaf, but didn't want to wait to have it shipped over from Asia. So I found this. I definitely notice a difference in his fins. I think he's even changing color a bit- he went from mostly black with red fins tipped white to a deeper body color that's still developing and slightly more vivid red fins. I'm glad I can use this stuff to help keep him in tip top shape and heal his fins without needing to move stuff out of his tank. I would definitely recommend this product.

It's in a convenient measuring bottle, but nothing beats nature. I have used natural almond leaves before and that went well. Whenever I used this, I didn't see any change or improvement. So I'll stick with nature.

My fish didn’t live enough for me to review this item. He jumped out of his bowl.. I gave 4 stars for the benefit of the doubt 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not good value -Read dosing directions before purchasing - This might be fine if you have a tiny tank, but given the 5 ml dosing capsule, I thought a little would go a long way. But at 5ml dose for 4L of water I would need 2 of these bottles per water change. Wouldn't buy again
