Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise on pearl danios. I have learned much valuable information from your website. I have some pearl danios coexisting happily with other community fish including guppies, blue danios, leopard danios, and one double tail male betta. They all seem to be doing fine together. My male betta, Doewy seems to keep out of the way of the rest of these fast moving fish. The pearl danios are truly a remarkable sight especially with their flashes of color as they swim with the other colorful fish. These are truly one of my favorite fish. For later reference, I have organized your website and other related websites that I may need later.

Sincerely,

Irene Steffen

I was introduced to leaves by a couple of Thai Betta breeders. 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 also lowers the pH of the water, absorbs harmful chemicals and helps create a soothing and calm environment for the fish. The leaves can also be used to treat bacteria infection and help the Bettas recover from injuries. Some people also use them to increase breeding frequency. But be careful, because it also makes the male more aggressive at breeding time. On the other hand, it also helps the female recover from any wounds she receives during the breeding process.

I use one square-inch of leaf per half-gallon of water for individual fish. One leaf per 10-gallon rearing tank for the fry. One-leaf per half-filled 10-gallon breeding tank.

If any of you Betta Breeders/Keepers need any Indian Almond Leaves, I have just gathered quite a few freshly fallen leaves, prices are very reasonable and include postage via airmail from Thailand… if interested email me at block-2@hotmail.com.

The next way is to use a medicine called Kanneplex from Seachem. It does a good job of preventing fungus.

Finally, and I have not tried this, is to use a few teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide per gallon. Apparently, the peroxide kill any growing fungus.

Okay, so you have decided that you want to own an aquarium. It is a good idea to make out a wish list before purchasing any fish for the aquarium….
