what's so odd is that it's Aqueon that makes this product. they usually have great products and then they make this ....

My local stores refuse to sell these. I think even PetSmart took them off the shelves.

Wouldn't be surprised if someone sued over this.

I just found your channel! I keep my betta in a ten gallon planted but it's still great to see people making PSA videos like this. Binge watching the rest of your videos haha <3

I did see those "Betta Beads" but they just didn't sound like something I wanted to use. I also wanted a more natural tank, with natural colors, and live plants. Thanks for sharing all the useful information with us new Betta parents! I love your videos and I joined you Facebook forum!

I haven’t been having any luck keeping bettas. I have well water, and I’m pretty sure that is the issue. Just wondering if you have any thoughts or experience with well water. Thinking about trying bottled water. TFS, AllisonLP

This is why people always need to be highly skeptical of "trendy" or colorful looking alternative options to a standard fishtank. Between the questionable coloring/paint ingredients, brittle/cheap material, or just overall cramped/jagged design of many decor and "gravel" options, there always seems to be some new thing on the market every 3-10 years that turns out to be an awful idea that leads to the premature death of many a fish, betta or otherwise. When Betta beads first came out, my thoughts were "Why the hell are we putting Silicon Orbees in fishtanks!?", because as far as I could tell, this was just another option marketed towards inexperienced keepers who thought a colorful substrate would be cute, and the replaceable nature of them could somehow cut down on maintenance. I feel sorry for all the people who used this product and lost a dear pet to it.

I'm shocked this type of product is being sold and marketed as such. I hope they end up removing it from their product line. Orbeez anything is just bad in general. I've seen too many clips of parents doing the mass cleanup/plumbing after their kids put them in the bathtub or sink. Or that one guy who affected his entire neighbourhood after filling his bathtub...I wouldn't be mad if they banned this type of product as it affects water systems. More plastic we don't need~

Worked at a local fish store when these came out. We displayed the product woth a betta who tried to eat it and died.
A customer came in a week later with a very similar experience.

We pulled these and all other bead/gel ttpe products. Terrible product.
