Do you think Atison's betta PRO pellets are good for Danios and Tetras ?

im sure they will eat them and it wont hurt them but I wouldnt use them as a regular diet

I meant as part of a varied diet. They are a good size for small fish.
P.S. Do you think a Betta could be happy eating only the pellets ?

Shawnie

they are a good pellet so as a varied diet, im sure they would be fine
each betta is different...some members only feed their bettas pellets....IMO , a good varied diet for a betta is frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, pellets, decapsulated shrimp eggs, daphnia,some fresh garlic pieces, and spirulina...im only speaking on what I feed mine...not what should be done...mine get totally bloated and lethargic when I feed them anything freeze dried...maybe they are just spoiled tho

I gave my neons some hikari pellets last night- don't know how similar these are, esp. in size, to the Atison's. It was pretty entertaining, though, watching them smimming around with the pellets in their mouths. Even though the pellets said they were for "baby" bettas, they were too big for the neons to eat all at once, so the swam around with them, spit them out, and chased them around for a while before they finally were able to eat them. Then they had little round bellies. I probably won't do it again, though, because I started to get paranoid they were going to choke.

I think the Hikari are larger

the hikari are about 2-3x the size of the atisons pellets at least, so would definitely be much harder for them to eat.

again, they're fine to feed your fish but not as an everyday staple sort of a thing, variety is the key

It be fine to use them once ina while. Soak it and squish it in the water to make a big feast for them all.
