	Betta Water Conditioner vs Aquasafe Water Conditioner
Stormy Big Fish Posts: 357 Kudos: 606 Votes: 81 Registered: 13-Mar-2004	I always use Betta Water Conditioner when I change the water in my betta tanks, and Aquasafe in my aquariums. The betta conditioner seems to cost a lot more to do the same thing. Is there something about it that makes it special for bettas, or is it just a a marketing ploy? Would the aquasafe be just as good for them?

A $10 bottle will treat about 10,000 gallons. How's that for a price break, eh? A drop'll do it for any betta bowl, and a few drops or a small squirt for a tank. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!

Stormy Big Fish Posts: 357 Kudos: 606 Votes: 81 Registered: 13-Mar-2004	Wow! Is that what you use in all your tanks? With the number of bettas I have, a once a week water change for them costs me about $5 a week using betta water conditioner. What a racket!

littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003	I know, it's sad! In fact, almost all the pond products are at least 10x cheaper, so if there's something you're using that's marketed for ponds, you might want to try that instead. I've saved a lot by switching to pond conditioner. (In a similar vein, the expensive "rat and mouse food"? It's hamster food, but twice as expensive!) -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
