SunGrow Catappa Indian Almond Leaves, Best Way to Create Tropical Rainforest Environment for Betta & Gouramis, Beneficial Leaf Turns Water Black & Boosts Health and Breeding Chances

An untrained family member gave me the betta fish, with the best of intentions, but he was not able to properly care for it. At the time I first got him, he had fin rot and swim bladder problems. He could only float on his side and couldn't swim down ever, no matter what he wanted. The fins on his beautiful body were pretty much gone as well. It was in a half gallon tank, and there wasn't a heater to keep him warm. It was his birthday recently, so I got him a gift.

Moreover, I see that the water has now acquired a color, which I view as a positive development. I have updated This is the first time I have seen a betta at 100% activity. For the first time in over three weeks, he built a large bubble nest. The appetite is back to its ferocious state. Feeding him twice a day is part of his daily routine. There is a lovely, very light brown tint to the water. Neither Bettas nor crystal clear water is home to them. The best environment for my betta is what I consider more important than what some may deem cosmetically pleasing when it comes to receiving As well, when I show him something he doesn't like, he puts on the flares. He even flared at a blue, ballpoint pin I held in front of him. The fact that he is back in good shape is very encouraging for me. His tank is much better now that this product is in it. Despite the fact that it may not have been the only thing that helped for him, it appears to have been very effective. Due to this, I have upgraded the rating by one star. I do not believe any coloration is being added to the water, so the jury is still out. A leaf was broken in half (very large leaves) and divided equally on each side of my betta's five legs. The tank holds 5 gallons. One half of it serves as a blanket for my betta.

He stopped eating nearly two weeks ago. Adding this product to his tank forced him to eat again. He rests on top of his plastic leaf hammock completely covered by this product. The food stayed in his mouth for the next few days. He got a fresh can of betta flakes from me. It was still impossible to get him to His favorite treat is blood worms, so I offered him those. It was still impossible to get him to His tank has been treated with Betta Fix and antibiotics. I have not changed anything. The situation became very concerning to me. He had been going without food for a week and a half, so I ordered this product. The only comfort I had was that he was still relatively active, but I could see that he was slowing down. Each time I changed 25 percent of the water, I continued to do so. My first reaction when I received the product was to cut the leaf in half and place the halves side by side in The next day he ate a little bit more than he did when he ate the flake food, which gave me hope. A few more days passed before my betta ate a little piece of flake food again, but not the rest. In place of eating once a day, he now feeds twice a day as he did before. Bubble nests are being made again and he is fully active. Having found this out has given me a great deal of relief. In my opinion, I'm responsible for causing his problem. The other day I started buying distilled water for my tea again (I hadn't done that in A few times over the course of a week or two, I topped off his tank with distilled water. Rather than think about the effects distilled water might have on his tank, I just poured it into his tank out of the plastic container. This may have made me feel unwell and led to a loss of appetite because of how it was timed. Because of my rough handling of him these past few weeks, I am angry with myself. As far as I understand, I shouldn't have done that. Whatever the case, I can't claim that this product was responsible for his return to health. According to the timing of the betta's recovery, this product may have played a role. His love for plants also comes from the two live plants I added to his tank. A few weeks ago, two of the plants died so I removed them and have not replaced them. Having tried several different products, I cannot assure you that this product helped him therefore, I cannot state for sure whether it worked. This may have happened. The timing of the incident would make this The leaves for this product are very large and packaged pretty flat (stacked on top of each other) in a sealed bag, but they have not been I was very impressed with the packaging. The one leaf I've used so far is all I've got. My 5 is made up of a whole leaf. Because he was ill, he had to buy a 5-gallon tank. To determine whether that can be reduced to half of a leaf for the five, I will need to read the label. In the future, a 5 gallon tank will be available. Betta Spa (liquid) tints water similar to how I expect it to tint in regular water. My perception of the tint may be slightly different, but I do not notice because it may have been subtle Eventually, I hope to be able to make a more informed decision. My overall experience with the product appears to be four stars for now. Future changes may result in an addition or deletion of a star. In current discussions, I lean more toward adding stars than removing them. It will be interesting to see what happens.

The goldfish has been in my aquarium for five years and I still have it The back fins of the betta were showing minor fungus signs due to sitting so much. Although there were some superficial cracks along the edge of the leaves, they were well preserved and intact. My first step was to boil the leaves and then soak them with a carbon pack for about half an As a result, the water will be tainted at some point. I've already noticed a noticeable difference in my goldfish's behavior after two days. The fish has begun to swim with more attention, its shine is better, and the spots at the tail have disappeared. These leaves are a welcome boost to my fish who are aging! It would be a great product to recommend!.

Okay, so I saw this and thought it would be a great product for my rescued Bettas. Despite trying four different varieties of leaves from the pack, all of them contributed only to making the tops of the tanks oily, not tannin-rich. The pictures don't look real to me? This is the first time I haven't used The instructions were followed, and I even put a whole freaking leaf in an aquarium with a 5 gallon capacity. There is nothing. The only water in my tank is oily topped water (I use betta conditioned water for my tanks, not tap water) and the oil doesn't appear until the leaves are added. I'm not sure if they do any good to the bettas, but they seem to enjoy swimming under them. It is two days later that the leaves begin to become spotty with black spots.

This is a real giant and comes in a full-size sealed bag with the recommended amount of leaves to use per gallon, which I found to be This seller will definitely be on my list for future purchases.
