Discover The Indian Leaves Of Almond And Their Uses For Betta Fish
A secret in achieving a really healthy and strong Betta-fish is to bathe them with some Indian Leaves of Almond. These Indian Almond tree is famous for their wild leaves within certain places and is commonly called Ketapang. They originated from a certain tree which is known in producing chemicals best in defending itself from parasites and insects.
Once these particular leaves that are dried reaches the contents of the water, it creates a really strong dye which is colored brown. This dye possess acids that are organic such as tannins and humic.
The treated water would eventually darken then turn to something yellowish and a bit brown in color just like tea after about a couple of days and this would make your Betta-fishes happy because it is a great living condition for them.
Tannins and humics coming from these Indian almond leaves makes the pH level of your water to be lower and it then absorbs any chemicals that are very harmful plus creates that calm and soothing environment perfect for Betta-fishes.
I utilize these especially for fishes that were just brought home straight from any aquarium to allow the fishes to settle comfortably, because maybe they were traumatized by the travel as most fishes are. They are sensitive after all
These great leaves may then be utilized for treating bacteria in infected waters plus helping Bettas to recuperate from acquiring certain injuries. Although most people take advantage of this fact to heighten the frequency in breeding.
The very first instance that I have discovered these healing abilities of these came when a certain Betta wouldn’t want to eat in over a couple of days since I brought them straight from home. So a good friend suggested to soak almond leaves together with the fish inside your tank in 1 whole night. The following day, the fish was already sucking blood-worms in no time.
In using them, I recommend a palm-size kind of leaf combined with ten gallons water. Then soak these for within rest of your night and its water would turn brown the following day. When helping a fish to recover then store them inside your tank for a whole week.
These particular leaves really are hard to find. But I have some of these growing right outside my very own house. I was fortunate enough to have cultivated them and now I have unlimited usage of these leaves which are very helpful for the Betta fishes that I have in my aquarium.
