Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the continued effectiveness of Aqueon PURE Betta Beads and the health of your betta:

• Monthly Replacement: Replace the Aqueon PURE Betta Beads once a month (add 1 pouch per 1 gallon of water).
• Water Changes: Perform a 25% water change every 2 weeks.
• Feeding: Remove any uneaten food promptly to prevent water quality degradation.

Troubleshooting

Address common issues to maintain an optimal environment for your betta:

• Premature Shrinkage of Beads: If the Betta Beads shrink prematurely, this indicates that the water hardness is not optimal for your betta. It is recommended to change the water with soft (deionized or specially filtered) betta water.
• Persistent Water Clarity Issues: If water clarity problems persist despite following the recommended dosage and maintenance schedule, ensure that uneaten food is consistently removed and consider testing other water parameters.
