Aquarium Co-Op uses the same formula as their Easy Floating Community Pellets, sized down for a betta's mouth, and it floats for a long time, which matters for a fish that feeds at the surface and ignores anything that sinks past it.

A pellet that sinks quickly gets missed, rots in the substrate and fouls the water, and the fish ends up underfed anyway. These are made to sit on the surface for an extended period so your betta can take them at its own pace, and so you can see exactly how much was actually eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:14px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #666;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eWhat Is In It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix main ingredients, and the first three are the protein:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhole Anchovy Meal, Whole Krill Meal and Whole Shrimp Meal\u003c\/strong\u003e carry the bulk of the nutrition.
