 My bettas love Omega One Betta Buffet pelletsJan 04, 2011
By E. Anderson
As a betta fish owner, I try to keep my bettas' diets as diversified as possible. I don't like to restrict them to one type of food. I recently bought a 0.16 oz of Omega One Betta Buffet pellets as another source of food so now I feed them NLS betta formula, Nutrafin Betta flakes, Sally's Frozen Bloodworms, and Omega One Betta Buffet pellets. I must say I really like the Omega One pellets the best because they do not sink like the NLS pellets to. They are big enough for my female betta fish (who seems to have difficulty seeing her food especially pellets) to find. Omega One Betta Buffet Pellets are high in protein. The main ingredients contain whole salmon and halibut while Hikari Bio-Gold pellets are consists mainly of whole wheat with some fish meal. I would strongly recommend ordering online the Omega One Betta Buffet Pellets. It is higher in protein than Hikari and Aqueon's betta pellets which are very important for your betta. Bettas rely on a high protein diet.

Hard to find in stores!Jan 05, 2012
By shylee
I couldn't find this in stores so I ordered it here! This stuff is great for Bettas, pellets with real seafood in them are the best thing to feed Bettas. Mine loves to eat these. It is a real small container, but has so many pellets that it will probably last the life of your fish!

By LizF
This is a nice small pellet for bettas - some pellets are actually too big for younger fish to eat but not this one - has the most fish in it of any betta pellet I've found - my fish loves these and his color is great !
 Found It WAY Cheaper At Petco.Apr 11, 2012
By TaylorLovesCOD
This food is about $6 cheaper at my local Petco. Don't waste your money on here. Oh, and the "floating" pellets DO NOT float at all. they sink straight to the bottom.

 Your betta might eat them...but should he?Feb 10, 2012
By Jeremy Storly
I am a fish enthusiast, and I want them to have the very best. I had heard nothing but good things about the Omega One brand, so when I got my first betta, a male crowntail, I bought some of these pellets at my local live fish store.
Be warned that while these pellets do provide good nutrition for your betta, they also contain a controversial preservative: ethoxyquin. Ethoxyquin is approved for use as a preservative in pet foods, but it is also used as a pesticide. That's right -- a pesticide! As long as Omega One continues to use ethoxyquin, I cannot recommend their products, no matter what other ingredients they contain.
"I had my betta on this for 3 years..."
This type of anecdotal evidence is not convincing. Where is the research? Where are the statistics? Ethoxyquin has historically been used as a pesticide, and to my knowledge it has never proven its safety for use as a food preservative. It is not our burden to prove the harm of ethoxyquin, since it has been used extensively in context as a pesticide; the burden is on the users of ethoxyquin to prove the safety of its use in products intended for consumption.
Furthermore, longevity is not proof of safety. For example, the longevity of one particular smoker does not account for the reduced quality of life; the chronic bronchitis and emphysema, the grueling death by cancer, the constriction of blood vessels, the reduced immunity, the constant expense, etc. Do you really want to expose your pet to a product that could negatively and drastically impact the quality of its life?
"Nothing wrong with this product regardless the contents."
On what do you base this claim? Again, ethoxyquin has historically been used as a pesticide used to kill animals, not to protect them. If there is some evidence to the contrary, please present it to me, and I will reconsider my position. As far as I know, the users of ethoxyquin, a known pesticide, have not proven its safety as a food preservative. In fact, its use is prohibited in products intended for humans. Why on earth would I voluntarily feed this to my pet?
To conclude, in my opinion the use of ethoxyquin as a preservative in pet foods is indefensible in light of its history as a pesticide and its ban on use in foods intended for humans. Why a company that promotes its products as a healthful alternative for pets chooses to use ethoxyquin as a preservative is beyond me.
