Description

For most of the tropical fish that live in the rivers and lakes, their natural and best environment is Black Water.
Black water has a distinctive brownish tea like colour and contains many dissolved organic materials.
It was first noticed that fishes living around the water where the ketapang trees grew were found to be much more vibrant in colour, beauty and health. Thus started the practice of putting ketapang leaves into aquariums to try and achieve the same condition as those found in their natural environment.
Breeders in Asia have used the leaves as a conditioning agent for their aquarium fish, to spur breeding behaviour as well as an add-on for fishes packaged for shipment.

Ketapang Leaf Extract contains the same benefits while eliminating the fuss of leaf collection and processing for you. All Ketapang leaves are cleaned and heat-treated to obtain the resulting concentrated extract.

Use 2 – 3 drops per litre of water for Bettas. For crowntails, it is recommended to increase this to 3 to 4 drops per litre of water. Shake well before use. Occasional streaks of darker liquid may be seen in droplets but this is normal and harmless. This occurs solely due to the inherent properties of the leaf.
