Seachem Betta Basics 60mL — Pocket-Sized Tap Water Conditioner and pH Stabiliser For Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta splendens) In Small Bowls & Desktop Aquariums

Seachem Betta Basics 60mL (SKU: 725104-424) is an all-in-one water conditioner and chemistry stabiliser formulated specifically for Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta splendens) housed in small bowls, desktop aquariums, and unfiltered systems. Unfiltered betta enclosures accumulate toxic ammonia and organic waste rapidly, leading to fin rot, lethargy, and ammonia burn. 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. Betta Basics instantly detoxifies chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals from tap water while binding dangerous ammonia.

Seachem Betta Basics is a specialised water conditioner formulated to create a safe, stable, and low-stress environment for betta fish and live plants. In addition to water conditioning, Betta Basics buffers aquarium pH to a steady 7.0, creating an ideal neutral environment for tropical bettas. It contains stress-reducing ingredients that preserve natural slime coats without interfering with the labyrinth organ bettas use to breathe surface air. The compact 60mL dropper container is ideal for single betta keepers managing small water change volumes.
