I really want to use IAL in my betta Lily’s tank as a preventitive mild antibiotic (he is a long-finned tail bitter and I constantly fear fin rot). 🙄 I have brought cappata leaves, (I think they are the same thing, diffrrent name), at my LFS and added a few to my tank from time to time. So far...

Hello Everyone, I am in dire need of help as I can not find any info on this anomaly anywhere. A bit of history from the fish itself. I got him for free on gumtree listed as a female, which he obviously isn't as I soon found out. I don't know his age or "breed", but he is quite a big boy...

Just wanting to hear what others think about mopani wood and indian almond leaves. I hear a lot of people use almond leaves. Trying to make my 2.5 gallon tanks more natural with plants to give my bettas the best life. Having to travel to college makes this slightly difficult.

I'm keeping a few bettas in 1 gallon jars for a couple weeks until the bigger tank is ready, so I'm changing the water 100% several times a week. I've been thinking of using IAL, but I don't know how water changes work with them. Since they lower the pH, does that mean if I want to use them...

We just received our first order of Indian Almond Leaves! We ordered a pack of 50 large leaves, and good grief, large they are! They're bigger than my hand, but I do have quite small hands, so... Rygel is a tail-biter. He has anxiety. He doesn't like change, even a slight accidental movement of...

Is there any rule of thumb for minimum size of DW vs size of tank (and still receive the benefits)? My friend has some small pieces and I wonder what is enough. I do have fake wood in my "tanks", which I could remove, but then I can't return them and would therefore have fake wood just sitting...

Hello! I've heard great things about Indian Almond Leaves, and I am genuinely curious and eager to use them for my bettas! However, I'd like some advice on how to use them and how much to use since I have different tank sizes for each of my bettas (Two Large kritter keepers, one medium kritter...

I have a halfmoon plakat EE with torn fins and tail and was wondering if they will ever grow back to the original state? And how long will it take? I'm using IAL to help with the healing.

I thought I would post this up because when I started out I couldn't find any reliable information on if this could be done or not. I'm relatively new to aquarium keeping so my terminology sucks. I'll try to be as clear as possible. I have a planted 2.75 gallon glass bowl for 1 HM betta. 3...

Hello, Is black water extract a decent stand-in for Indian Almond Leaves? The local fish stores don't carry anything of the sort, but one owner also recommended banana leaves as a replacement but I don't think I can get those either. And what does fin rot look like when it's hit the body? My...
