Review: Clouds water - I cannot tell if it works or not since i just bought .. but the problem i face is cloudy water. I tried to use only with food still same cloudy water
Review: Bought this for my Siamese fighting fish and I add a few drops in his frozen food as it’s defrosting. He doesn’t seem to mind it and eats away at his food happily. So far I haven’t noticed any change, good or bad but I’ve only had him for a few weeks. I’ve read good things about it though so I’ll be continuing with this as a healthy supplement.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The description says this is safe for invertebrates, but I still want to ask about your personal experience with snails and shrimp? Thank you!**
A: This stuff is amazing! I make my own fish food and I mix it right in. If you have a snail problem get some clown loaches. It's their favorite treat.

**Q: I just put 15 Drops in my 16 gallon and it looks like a snowglobe now. Why is that and should I return it?**
A: No idea but it does take it awhile to dissolve from what I have experienced. Could have something to do with other things you may have in your aquarium already or even the total ph of your water. I would contact the manufacturer and also check the experation date and temperature of your water and the drops at the time they were put in. Best of luck!

**Q: Will this product have any negative effects with live plants?**
A: I am sorry, I do not know.  I would suggest searching the internet for this product and see if there is a site or anyone would know.

**Q: Can this be used and benefit a betta? Does it expire ? Does it go bad if left unrefrigerated for a day? Does it harm plants?**
A: Hi.  I just used this in my new Betta fish today.  I used it in the past.  I just added two drops into a 22 oz. bottle of aquarium water and poured it into the tank.  I think I read where it really helps Betta fish a lot with what it says it does.  I read somewhere where it is good for six months if not refrigerated and probably good for 9 months if refrigerated.  Sorry I don't remember where I read this but it was just a couple days ago.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by C***E on 3 May 2018*

I soak all frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp and FRESH BOILED THEN COOLED cod, salmon, beef heart, beef sirloin, chicken and turkey in Vita chem for 5 minutes before cutting into tiny bite-sized pieces to feed to my betta fish. ALL of them are so healthy, with beautiful vibrant colours. None of them will eat betta pellets even soaked in Garlic Guard and/or Vita chem. I've tried at least 4 kinds, even the expensive ones like Nu Life Spectrum for Betta, Hakari Gold, etc. but they always spit them out even after 6-8 times trying to get them used to pellets. It's been my experience that if betta are fed a varied diet (at least 4 different high protein foods) soaked in Vita chem for an extra boost of vitamins, then they can live long and healthy lives. My oldest one lived just past 5 years!
