Aqua-Pics Betta Starter 5pk — Five-piece water conditioner and food set for a new betta tank
Setting up a first betta tank usually means buying a chlorine neutraliser, a mineral conditioner, a bacteria starter and a food separately, in full-size bottles sized for a much bigger aquarium. Aqua-Pics Betta Starter 5pk (SKU: 101626) packages five smaller “Fighter” branded products from the Aqua-Pics range into one box, covering water conditioning, hardness, biological filtration and feeding for a single betta aquarium without buying a cupboard full of oversized bottles. The pack contains a 50 mL chlorine neutraliser to make tap water safe, a 50 g GH conditioner for mineral content, a 50 mL Bacta-Boost liquid bacteria supplement, a 40 g KH buffer set to pH 7.0, and 25 g of fighter pellets.
Each component mirrors a full-size Aqua-Pics product scaled down to betta-tank quantities: the chlorine neutraliser strips chlorine and chloramine from tap water before it reaches the fish, the GH conditioner sets a healthy mineral balance for growth and development, the KH buffer holds pH at a steady 7.0, the Bacta-Boost starts the bacterial culture that processes leftover food and waste, and the pellets are the first food once the tank is running. Bettas are commonly kept in small, still aquariums of 10 to 20 L with warm, gentle-flow water, and this pack is sized to set up one tank of that kind rather than to maintain it indefinitely; the conditioners and bacteria will need topping up from Aqua-Pics’ full-size range once the starter quantities are used.
