When the Indian Almond dried leaves are placed into the water, a strong brown dye is given off. The dye contains organic acids humic and tannins. The water darkens to a yellowish brown (tea-like color) after a few days, which is exactly the same as the Betta fishes' natural habitat. The changed water seems to harden their scales. It helps them heal wounds and ward off illnesses. The humic and tannins from the Indian almond leaves ...

Lakewood actually but you guys don't really want to know that. I am currently operating two tanks, both of which were created as biology lessons for my oldest daughter who was fascinated by the fish in LFS when she was two or so (she's now seven). My first tank is a well planted 55 with a secondary 10 gal adjacent to it. I keep clown loaches, polka dot loaches, chinese algae eaters, endler live bearers and one fiesty little ...

Plants provide hiding spaces for shy or harrassed fish, resting spots (bettas love to relax on broad plant leaves), help oxygenate the water, help remove dangerous toxins, and give the tank a more natural look. There are numerous plants which are easy to maintain and easy to find at your local pet store. All of the following plants require minimal lighting (25-50 watts pet 25 gallons) and are useful in both community tanks and spawning tanks. Apogneton ...

New aquariums generally take about 5 - 7 weeks to able to sustain a full biological load. Thats why you shouldn't just shout "Weeehay!" and chuck in tons of fish ...
