I wonder why it has to be Peter's 20:20:20. Wouldn't all 20:20:20 be the same?

I've seen it at Lowes too. The local orchid grower usually carries it too. I think it supposed to have some trace minerals added but not for sure on that. I know some growers down here recommend it and sell it.

They can vary in the ionic state of the nutrients. Also, micronutrient ratios can differ and Mg and Ca are often excluded from fertilizers. Personally, I find people over emphasize the importance of fertilizers but I can understand why elitebettas would want to be brand specific.
