All-in-One Formula Keeps Water Safe:
BettaSafe Water Carer is an all-in-one formula that works to keep your aquarium water safe and healthy for your Betta. This easy-to-use conditioner detoxifies harmful ammonia in tap water, neutralizes chlorine, chloramines and heavy metals, and features stress reducing slime.
How it Works:
Tap water and well water contain dangerous substances like chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals that must be neutralized for the health and safety of your Goldfish. BettaSafe works to create a safe environment and maintain optimum balance between water changes by neutralizing chloramine and turning chlorine into harmless salt. BettaSafe also binds to heavy metals to create a large, safe molecule that can be physically removed by your filter.
New Vitamin and Mineral Blend:
BettaSafe for Goldfish features a unique blend of beneficial minerals that are normally lacking in typical tap water. These included vitamins and minerals work to increase the vitality, breeding behavior and activity of your fish.
Proprietary Advanced Biopolymer:
Proprietary, advanced biopolymers produced by living organisms such as kelp are included in BettaSafe to support beneficial bacteria necessary for healthy and clear aquarium water. These added ingredients do not pollute water, but work to reduce pollution by strengthening the bacterial bed.

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2023
His water conditions have been very different. He is widely traveled in his 1 gal. tank. He's gone from OK water, to excellent water and now finally to bad water.
He has no filter, no air pump, no heater. Just weekly 100% water change, California climate and this water conditioner.
The local water has waaay to much mineral content, some not so good for you, me or Mr. Fishie.
I tried using filtered water but I suspect the PUR filter takes out too much. I was using 50/50 filtered and straight tap. Fish do need some minerals in the water. This worked but was to fussy.
So I run the water like crazy to get the lead out because it's an old building. Then I add 7 drops to the water pitcher and let that sit for 1-2 days. Two days is better to get the water temp equal. Then before I pour the water into the clean aquarium, I add 7 more drops because there is a lot of stuff in the water. The chemicals in the water conditioner bind the bad stuff but it doesn't lock it down forever. I want some fresh conditioner that will last the week.
This part is weird, I usually pour in the fresh tank water from a height of about 3 ft above the tank. Water will degass if held for a few days and I want some oxygen back in there.
Ever since I doubled the amount of water conditioner and started oxygenating his fresh water, he's stopped laying at the bottom of the tank gasping. He goes in and started swimming around lazily. Then he looks at me cuz he knows he's supposed to get fed now.
The overall effect of the BettaSafe water conditioner is this, it doesn't hurt my Betta, which is good. Have I seen any huge improvement? No, but it's hard to measure such a thing. If you don't have a conditioner then you need to pick one up. A betta will not live very long in normal tap water without some sort of PH balance or water conditioner. Be a responsible pet owner, Betta's are not ornaments or decorations, they are your friends and they all have individual personalities so take care of them as you would a cat or a dog.
