finally i found a true indian almond tree around my house, my eye must been blind last time for not paying attention to it.

Anyway, I already got the black water effect from the leaf, do i need to throw it out now ?
Also,does everytime i do WC also need to replace in another leaf?
I mean does it necessary to do it every time?

Guys, something wrong with my betta.
since that day i brought back the ketapang leaf & put it in tank until today, oredi inside the tank for 2 day, & my betta just seat at the bottom, & it seldom eat, usually it got a very big appetite one..but not for today, what's wrong? I oredi boil the leaf before putting it.
Just now i done a WC, now its condition ok a bit.

If the water ph is either too low or too high, does it had to do of the amount/size of leaf i put it in the first place or the period of leaf inside the tank?
Sigh..just now accidentally feed him oredi, will try next time not feed him first.
Now i didn't put any leaf yet.

speaking of breeding & feeding the fried, will they eat the betta food or those frozen worm?

what? u going to feed those poor little fella to fish again ah

can, i also put real plant in my tank, liked moss & fern.

recently i'm trying to find some female betta for my breeding project.
all female betta is also short fins one rite? except for short fin & not attractive, what else we can identified a female?
Is there any male betta also short fin one? scare buying the wrong one.

Man, how come everytime i using ketapang leaf will attract so many ants one?
anybody experience this before?

ya, i do..i boiled it & washed it too.

btw, usually fin rot could it be cure by just adding ketapang leaf & add some salt ?
how long will it takes to recover ?

Oh..I'm afraid to cut it myself ler, scare 1 mistake cut the fish died.
I only got the Ocean free general aid special yellow medicine, which stated to cured fin rot & others disease, does this help effectively? currently im just using ketapang leaf only.

Haha, i know brother...but still not ready for that yet.

Oic, then there's isn't any side-effect if i use the medicine while my tank still got the ketapang leaf effect, right?

Aiyo..my betta fin rot been worsening, all those medicine i used no effect at all, the fin oredi shorten by half liao.
If i would want to cut it, how much i need to cut?

the first 2 days i used ketapang leaf, then i change to use ocean free general aid special.
this few day i also do 100% WC.

I haven't cut the fin yet, maybe later..but dunno how to start it, cause the fin been shorten deeply the upper part.

Just now i cut a bit out, too hard to handle it steady.
still not sure do those disease part is clearly been cut off or not.
How u guys steady the fish when cutting it?

freshyyf, wow...your Marble Fancy is really nice, even though u had been "operated" on it.
I think my betta had no fin-rotting disease anymore, hopefully it could grow healthier & growing back a nice fin.
