A good healthy environment, but you can also add things that I crease slime coat.

 

IAL (Indian Almond Leaves) is helping my Crown Tail out with his fins that were bitten. also Stress Coat helps as well. =)

Oh my goodness, he's beautiful! Thank you very much for the advice! Where can I get Indian Almond Leaves? And are they expensive?

 

Indian Almond Tree



They grow everywhere in tropical area, city, expressway and parks etc.

Not sure about US quarantine requirement, we can just help pick up a few when walking the dog in the park, put it in A4 size envelope and send by ordinary airmail.

 

thank you. <3 If you have a local fish store, they might have some. I have a betta store in saint paul to get mine and they are around 8 to 10 bucks for a large bag of them. you can go online for them too. ^^

 

There's no fish stores around here, just a couple of generic pet stores. I'll check them anyway and see what they've got. Thanks again!

 

you're welcome. =)

 

Hey, just wanted to thank you for the advice, Balthzar's fins have grown over the last week or so and they already look amazing! All I did was increase the dose of water conditioner I put into the tank, I found out it has a stress coat in it and adding an extra half of what I normally put in really helped!

 

that's great! =D I am glad to hear and see that he is improving.

 

Wow he looks so much better!

 

a little late but ...

Clean warm water with either black water extract or IAL, good food, and most importantly, time. Madanach went from this:



To how he is now:

 

Wow, that's quite the improvement! May have to look into trying that with both of my boys. Samandriel's got quite a bit of growing to do still. Thanks for the tip!
