When fish are under stress from transfer, poor water quality and a range of other situations,
their immune system becomes weaker. As a result the fish are more prone to infection.
Betabec and Aquacite are two nutritional supplements based on plant and yeast extracts that
have shown, when fed as part of a management strategy to reduce the symptoms of stress.
Betabec is a blend of extracts of yeast and Vitamins C. E and B. It is coated on the feed by
first rolling the feed in a small quantity of oil then adding 8 gm of Betabec per 1 kg of feed. This
can be done in a small container or plastic bag. Feed to fish for a maximum of 14 days then
follow with Aquacite.
Aquacite is a blend of yeast extract, bioflavonoids and Vitamin C. It is coated on the feed by
first rolling the feed in a small quantity of oil then adding 2.5 gm of Aquacite per 1 kg of feed.
This can be done in a small container or plastic bag. Aquacite can be fed for a period of between
2 and 6 weeks.
Betabec and Aquacite can be fed at any time, however a four week period should be
maintained between repeat feedings. No other immunostimulants should be fed along with
these products. As a precautionary measure first check the list of ingredients in your fish
feed before using Betabec and Aquacite.
