Seachem Betta Basics 250mL — All-In-One Tap Water Conditioner and pH Buffer for Aquatic Betta Species In Divided Aquariums or Larger Desktop Tanks

Seachem Betta Basics 250mL (SKU: 725105-426) provides complete water conditioning and chemistry management for betta hobbyists maintaining multiple betta displays, divided aquariums, or larger desktop tanks. Bettas thrive in clean, soft to moderately hard water with a stable neutral pH. Betta Basics removes chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals from tap water while binding toxic ammonia produced by unconsumed food and waste.

By establishing and maintaining a stable pH environment at 7.0, Betta Basics reduces osmotic shock and protects fragile fin tissue from acid burn. It is a specialised water conditioner formulated to create a safe, stable, and low-stress environment for betta fish and live plants. It removes chlorine and chloramine from tap water, detoxifies ammonia, and buffers water to a neutral pH of 7.0, which is ideal for bettas. Its balanced formula supports healthy gill function and slime coat production without containing artificial oils or thickeners that coat the air-water interface. The 250mL bottle offers extended value for multi-bowl or multi-tank setups.
