Smart pretty girl. I was almost talked into using banana leaves, but you made it very clear it is a bad choice. Our tap water starts out at about 8.8 PH can you imagine what it would be with banana leaves. I will try to find some Bay Cedar and plant it in my yard. Thanks for setting me straight. 🖒😁
Keep in mind that there are alot of banana tree species and I recommend you soak them for a few days and remove the water and soak them again. This process is to remove the toxic substances that the plant has carried
What my lfs taught me that it's better to soak the leaves in water for a few days until it darkens and become oily (almond leaves primarily). Then take out that water and soak the leaves again. After the water becomes brown you can start using it. More tannin doesn't mean better results.
Where can I buy organic genuine catappa leaves? Among hundreds of 5 star reviews, there are many 1 star reviews that indicate their healthy betta fishes died a day after putting the leaves so Im afraid to try.
Great information!! Do you have any thoughts regarding how often new leafs should be added? Do they continue to release ample tannins after several water changes?
Thank you for your comment. We usually dry them under the sun and put them back. If they have become ineffective, than we put new ones in. Using drain net makes it very easy to maintain.
When will you be making a video on the GH hardness and all the other parameters? What do you think are the best parameters for Spawning? Do you have a specific recipe for your spawn water? Like do you add tapwater and RO water and then the Indian almond leaf and how much of each?
Gr8 Information Thank you As for the banana leaves are those from the banana tree which fruit u eat ripe or is the cooking type fruit bananas trees? Also could u try guava leaves as well 4 next ph experiment
I have 8.3 ph & 830 TDS in my aquarium.... Is it ok for betta fish breeding... Or whether i need to try with filter water with 6PH and 35 TDS..?... . Breeding parents are now in 8.3ph & 830 tds water
Where exactly would you get these leaves, specifically the bay cedar leaves? In have been considering getting a better of my own, but want to make sure it lives a long happy life.
I have read that Magnolia leaves can be used like Indian Almond leaves for betta fish tanks...is that true? and can Magnolia wood be used in tanks as well like driftwood?
If you do some of researched all dried leaf produce tannin that what betta like it . And all your experiments came out slimmed,cloudy.stinky because dried leaf before you put in the tank you didn’t rinse off something came with leaf , all dried leaf not dried until crispy or dried on the tree till it fell off from branch . It is important for betta if water condition not comfortable for them betta will produce slime to protected themself from toxic , sap from dried leaf you add into the tank . From content I was read about tannin for betta if your local can’t find Indian almond leaf also use 100%dried oak bark or leaf , magnolia, tea
Marimo Moss balls are very good for almost all fresh water tanks. They actually help keep the water clean. You'll have to turn them to keep the shape. Also clean them up every so often. Just shake them or squeeze them gently in the water when you do a water change. My gold fish ate them, but my Betta and tropical fish didn't do anything to them. I've even keep them with shrimp and snails.
Hi there, Great video! I was just wondering, other than washing the leaves, is there another way to clean the Almond leaves from pollutants? I bought indian almond leaves on Amazon and although the seller says they are washed, I don't want to endanger any Bettas
Very informative... Those banana leaves videos got dump for this.
What about the Guava leaves and Jackfruit. I read that they have similar properties to Indian almond leaves. Any idea?
I've used guava leaves they work well but not sure they have antibacterial properties that Indian almond leaf has.
This video was really helpful thank you cute lady

I was pondering this exact kind of experiment so I could be better informed when I acclimate my fish. Great vid!
what about bamboo leaves? I have a bag at home which are used to make a Chinese dish called Zhongzi. Would that work?
Yes, dry bamboo leaves work too

HOW Many days can we store Indian almond leaves water?
It'll disintegrate eventually. But i personally leave it. Though this will be practically useless because it's been 10 months :p
What is the name and brand of your ph tester? Viewer here from Philippines
Is any plants live that you personally recommend.

This was a great video. I now know which leaf is the best and most effective. My betta fish likes the brown water so I might go with almond or cedar.
I mean, thank you for Almond leaves not Banana leaves. I just thought it was effective. Thank you for ideas! 😊
Thank you for this video so therefore I can conclude, I have to buy that water PH level detector like yours for my Molly and Betta ❤❤
cannot wait for part 2. your evidence based method is really outstanding
Try with guava leafe , it is best 👌
Terima kasih infonya..

Will try to do another video as soon as we have time. GH/KH is very important for breeding and the eggs but do remember Betta love soft water.

Watching from Philippines, love lots ;)
Nice ❤❤
Where exactly would you get these leaves, specifically the bay cedar leaves? In have been considering getting a better of my own, but want to make sure it lives a long happy life.
First cycle a tank
why cycle when you can use turbo start?
it's not jati belanda, that different between catappa (ketapang) with jati belanda :)
bukan cuma katanya, but fact, test by pH instrument.. good siz... thanks
I have read that Magnolia leaves can be used like Indian Almond leaves for betta fish tanks...is that true? and can Magnolia wood be used in tanks as well like driftwood?
Nice video for fish keepers!. Having doubt on using leaves of jack fruit. Can we use this as almond leaves?
Very informative video. Have you tried on guava leaves? Thanks.
Quality vedio...I don't miss your vedio... I have a question what is your tank size Length/wide/Hight?
Ranging from about 5 l to 85 l, 15x15x20 to 60x37x40
Novita I read Betta fish need minimum 10 liters water. some persons say that Betta prefer small tank which is true?
@@udaydas6291 10 litres is 2.5 gallons anything smaller than that is what many consider,abuse
I was Hoping that You would pick Guava Leaves. ❤❤❤
How long do they last in aquarium with filter?
i link to where you can buy them can help
Over here we picked them from the trees
what's gonna happen if your fish shows sign of lethargy and hyper activeness ? is it gonna die?
Can you do a vid on how to use seeseid herb in Bettas tanks and vs IAL
I really love Betta Fish .. But why this Beauty of her Got me lol 😍🤭

Hi Novita, I'm David from Singapore & I wanna ask you that actually does moss balls suitable for betta too? Tq ☺️

I think there's no harm in washing, or maybe you can wipe the leaves with cloth soaked with aquarium salt
Nice to see I really enjoyed
Oh palm leaves??

You should wash the leaves first before adding them into your net bag
