Product description
Talisay (Indian almond) leaves, when added to a betta fish tank, offer benefits like softening the water, releasing tannins with antimicrobial properties, and creating a more natural, aesthetically pleasing environment.
How to use:
How to use:
1. Preparation:
Boiling (Optional): You can boil the leaves for 5-10 minutes to soften them and release tannins, then let the water cool before adding the water and leaves to the tank.
Soaking: Some people prefer to soak the leaves in a separate container for a few days to allow them to release tannins before adding them to the tank.
Direct Addition: You can also simply add the dried leaves directly to the aquarium, where they will naturally float and eventually sink as they break down.
Sterilization:
If you are concerned about potential organisms on the leaves, you can sterilize them by boiling them in hot water.
2. Quantity:
Start Slowly: When using Indian almond leaves for the first time, start with a small amount, such as one leaf (4-7 inches long) per 5-20 gallons of water.
Adjust as Needed: You can gradually increase the amount of leaves based on your fish's needs and the desired level of tannins in the water.
For blackwater tanks: Use more leaves and soft woods until you achieve the desired color.
3. Benefits:
Water Conditioning: The tannins released by the leaves help to soften and lower the pH of the water, creating a more natural environment for certain fish species.
Stress Relief: The tannins can also help to reduce stress in fish by creating a more stable and natural environment.
Disease Prevention: Some studies suggest that Indian almond leaves can have antifungal and antimicrobial properties that help to prevent diseases.
Biofilm: The leaves provide a great space for biofilm to grow, which shrimp will eat as they breakdown.
4. Replacement: Monitor the Leaves: Once you start seeing holes develop in the leaves, add new leaves to give them time to start breaking down and releasing tannins.
Replace Regularly: Most leaves last about one to two months until they break down completely.
5. Cautions:
Overdose: Be cautious not to add too many leaves, as an overdose can be harmful to your fish.
Water Changes: If you add too much tannin extract, simply do a water change to dilute the tint.
Staining: Be aware that boiling Indian almond leaves can stain pots and other equipment.
