I don't know if any of you betta lovers have come across this little magic trick, but Indian Almond Leaves are WONDERFUL for bettas. I'm not sure about other fish, but it couldn't hurt them either hehe.
Indian Almond Leaves have natural tannins in them that help harden scales, repair damaged fins, and improve the overall health of bettas. It also builds up their immune system.
And an added bonus (to those interested) when you place the leaves in their water, it makes a tea which stains the water brown and makes it more like their water in Thailand, and soothes them and makes their environment less stressful when they're feeling bad.
But I personally don't like my water being brown, so I found this really cool clear extract that in my opinion, is just as good at the leaves. I've been using it about two weeks, and I can already see a change in my bettas. My female betta tore her fin really deep because she got caught in her baffle (silly girl!) and now three days later, it's completely healed. My other boys have longer and better fins now as well.
Here's the extract: Clicky
That site also has a much bigger bottle. I ordered the small bottle and I've already used over half of it. But I liked it so much that we plan on buying the big bottle.
You guys should seriously try this for your bettas. I used to be skeptical about it because I read that there's no scientific proof that it helps. But really it does!
