BettaFix saved JJ's Life!
Date: February 20, 2006
"Our Beta, JJ (Jaws Junior) is 2 1/2, and we dearly love him. He has always been healthy and spunky. We have no idea why, but he recently developed skin rashes and fin rot, became lethargic and lost his appetite. He seemed to be saying "Help!"! We went to PetCo and found BettaFix, which contains the miracle oil, Melaleuca, put the recommended dose in his bowl and within 24 hours his beautiful color had returned, his fins began healing and he began eating again. We know he is a 'senior' fish, and are grateful he has been with us as long as he has, and now hope to have him even longer, healthier with the help of BettaFix. Thank you, PetCo!"

BettaFix works like magic!
Date: February 15, 2006
"My Betta had a severely split fin and was looking real bad. Then I got BettaFix and put a few drops in the bowl. I am floored as to how fast his wounds are healing. In just two days what was a serious rip is now just a small fray. I would definetly reccomend this product to anyone who owns a betta. Miraculous!!!"

Love this stuff!
Date: July 8, 2009
"I've used this product for over 5 years. Back in the beginning, I started including a few drops with EVERY water change for my bettas (along with aquarium salt and water conditioner). Sometimes I'll add a few extra drops on the days when they start getting sluggish or don't look like they feel well.
I have a female betta (Sharky) who is just about 5 years old!! And I had a male betta who was with me for about 3 years (Doe). I have had many, many bettas before and never had them live this long. I credit the Splendid Betta BettaFix Remedy for their longevity and recommend this product to anyone who loves their bettas and wants them around as long as possible. I truly love this product!"

I'm gonna finish the treatment to make sure he feels better but I had to let you know that I love these products. I know they saved my Lavi. He's his old happy self again. Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!!!!!!!"

It really worked!
Date: August 25, 2008
"I did a search the other day for Betta illnesses and read multiple message boards, fish expert sites and went thru list after list of symptoms leading to various diseases. Of course, my fish showed no signs of any of these horrible diseases and I was at a loss for what to treat him with. Basically, he wasn't eating much at all, was holding his fins flat to his body and looked pale. Poor little guy clearly didn't feel good. After reading alot of the reviews on this product I decided I'd give it a shot. All I can say is what I read was true, it worked like a charm. After one dose he was more active and attacking his food again with interest. After 2 doses he let his fins go and started greeting me at meal time again. Now after the 3rd dose he has started making bubble nests which he never did before. I'd have to say he is the happiest he's ever been. I'm so relieved and not only would I recommend this product to my friend but I already did. Give it a try!"

novice betta owner but expert purchase!
Date: June 6, 2008
"I am new to the world of bettas. I bought my first one about a month ago and I love him dearly. I noticed a string of fin torn away but I figured he snagged it on something but then I noticed his "baby" front fins were almost clear and withering away with fin rot! I bought BettaFix right away and have been using it for two days now, adding a 1/2 teaspoon to his 1.5 gallon tank at night. I am so impressed with how his small fins are blue and healing wonderfully! His split fin is also just a small fray now! His color is brilliant and I hope he continues to heal after the seven day treatment!"

Not for serious injury
Date: May 12, 2008
"While I was switching my betta tnaks around I put all of them into temp tanks and sadly forgot to cover them. Of course a few jumped up and got injuries because of it. It says its for cuts and torn fin so I tried it but sadly my pride "show" betta Red Ivan was too far gone and he passed on. Since then I haven't bred any betta's and I've made sure to keep the rest of them safe. I've tried to use this medicine once more for a less serious wound and the male did get better only to fall ill of something else and died. I haven't had much luck with this but hopefully if you have a minor wound this will work."

Did someone switch my fish?
Date: November 30, 2007
"I have three male betta fish. One of the fish was adopted from Petco. It was an adult fish when it was relinquished eight months ago, so I don't really know how old he is now. Last week he started sitting on the bottom and he had red through his face. His color was poor all over, and I thought he was not long for this world. I purchased BettaFix from Petco, and he improved OVERNIGHT. Unbelievable. Really...I can't believe my eyes."

Miracle Remedy
Date: August 26, 2007
"I felt hopeless seing my little friend in such missery, always gasping for air with bulging eyes, it seemed to be in so much pain and I was praying for it to die quickly, until I visited the Petco website and saw this product. I went to the store as soon as I could get there and started the treatment.
The next day I saw some improvement and three days later my friend is eating again and it is healing very well.
I am glad I didn't give up and I strongly recommend you don't either and go to your nearest Petco and get this product right away! Your beta deserves another chance."

Helped!
Date: July 29, 2007
"I have used this for 2 of my female bettas that had been attacked by their female betta bowl mates...it really helped, I believe it kept them alive for a lot longer than they would have otherwise. I'm positive that if they hadn't been so badly hurt...big flesh wounds...that this would've cured them"

Revived my elderly betta
Date: December 20, 2006
"I have a betta who is 3 plus years old. He is usually healthy but recently was very sluggish doing a lot of bottom sitting, not eating and losing all his black coloring, and not flaring anymore. I thought it was from aging . I put in some aquarium salt & added a heater to his tank but nothing helped. I put some bettafix in his tank and he was back to his normal healthy self in a day , eating again and has started blowing bubble nests ( something he did not do before) I even see new fin growth on his tail and his colors have become more brillant. It worked wonders in my elderly betta. I thought he was at death's door but after using bettafix he is doing great .I would definitely buy it again and plan on keeping some on hand in my betta first aid kit. I love that it is an all natural product."

An excellent preventative
Date: December 16, 2006
"Bettafix is a great product to prevent illnesses and heal damage. I have a that I've recently bought that has fin rot and an old Betta that experienced his tail blow. I've found that to cure an illness, you need to use a specific med to address the problem and Betta fix to heal. Either way, It's a great preventative and I'd die without it because it's liquid, making my betta bowl experience much better. I really recommend this for new Bettas to make their move in a less stressful environment."

best overall medication I've found for bettas
Date: July 5, 2006
"I saw this medication in a store, and was wondering how good it was. I was
extrememly fortunate that another customer in the store happened to
over hear me talking to an employee about it. Turned out he was a
longtime aquarist,and he had been involved in pre-market testing of
melaleuca. He said he found melaleuca to be a fantastic product that
cured everything it proclaimed to and more, he had even had success with it curing internal parasites which melaleuca doesn't claim to fix.
So I bought it, and was so glad that I did! I have quite a few bettas, and this product has made treating them (if they need it) so easy. Sometimes you can see physical signs like a fungus or tailrot, but quite often I acquired bettas who were just listless and didn't want to eat,maybe clamped fins and droopy tail,sometimes just lolling at the bottom of the bowl, and you just can't figure out exactly what is wrong. Many medications are made for specific problems only, gram
positive or gram negative infections, internal or external parasites,etc. And mostly they are packaged for dosages per a 10 gallon tank, which takes a lot of conversion to adapt the dosage to a betta bowl. Bettafix is perfect. So easy to add drops for the right dosage,and so highly effective in curing a broad spectrum of problems
wonderful to use when you don't know what you are combatting! I have had a huge success rate with this product, from bacterial problem to unidentified ailments, and I would recommend it to anyone who keeps bettas. My advice is don't wait to have a problem, keep a bottle on hand!"

Woah.
Date: June 29, 2006
"When my brother's fish got pop-eye, I was forced to use this medication, as I couldn't find anything else.
All I can say is: WOAH.
This stuff actually worked on pop-eye! The fish was treated monday night and by Wednesday night he was back to normal.
I really was expecting it to be one of those cheap rip-offs, but it wasn't."

NO FISH FUNERAL
Date: March 31, 2006
"I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS PRODUCT. MY FISH WAS AT DEATHS DOOR WITH FINROOT. I USED BETTA REMEDY AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS HE WAS ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL. I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS AND BOY IT WORKED. THIS WAS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND HE IS STILL A HAPPY HEALTHY FISH. I CAN SEE THE NEW GROWTH ON FINS AND TAIL. I USUALLY ADD A FEW DROPS WHEN I CHANGE BOWLS JUST INCASE."
