40 years of fish, 13 tanks, big beautiful fish.
This is the closest additive you can get to simulate the natural habitat of Bettas and koi. Added to spring water, your fish will love it and if you change your water by at least one quarter each week, it will help your fish stay stress free. Your tank will last longer between total cleaning. Cheaper too than buying better water.

Great product but needs a bigger quantity
I like the product but I wish they had it in bigger bottles, the reason it’s in a small bottle is cause people keep bettas in small tanks well I have a 10 gallon and 2 bottles is how much I would need to meet the dosage ...buttt this is a very good product and I highly recommend it if you have a small aquarium like 5 or less gallons

You will need many more bottles if you truly want a dark water tank.
For a 20-gallon tank (which I have) you will be like 4+ of this bottle to make it a dark water tank. If you have shrimps, I would recommend the catappa leaves. It might be slower at making your tank dark water but then the leaves can be some source of food for your shrimps.

Our shrimp like it.
This is our Stoplight Shrimp Aquascape 10 gallon cube tank. We have red, blue and yellow Neocaridina shrimp. My husband will puts 2 cap fulls in when he does his water changes. It will tint the water and shrimp like it.

I wish they made a bigger bottle.
My fish did like this, and it’s easier than dealing with rotting leaves, but you go through the bottle really fast if you have 5-10 gallons to treat. I would order more, but it’s not cost effective. I’ll just deal with the leaves.

Excellent within and without
Very pleased at the health of my aquatic life with this product. After giving it a long time to properly view and calculate results, I’m very happy to recommend this product to others with comparable species, to both seasoned aquarists and especially to beginners that may never have had someone share different knowledge and its options. I would request there was an option to buy this in a larger quantity. Not only to save money, but for us that needs lot on regular basis. ^^

Edward Scissorfins approves!
My betta, Edward Scissorfins, looked a bit sick when i got him, but since adding dark water, he has become lively, active and feisty!

Just okay
My betta fish likes the tannins, but honestly they're not very concentrated and it takes quite a lot of this to even colour the water in his 10 gallon. I think a better bang for your buck would be to buy a cheap piece of shrimp wood and just boil that when you need to top up.

Ça ajoute un peu de tanins mais il faut en mettre beaucoup, même dans une 5 gallons. Mes filtres ont arrêté de marcher parce que les éponges étaient toutes collées. J'ai dû les laver et j'ai un peu crashé mon cycle 😬 je ne sais pas 100% si c'était les tanins mais.. C'est JAMAIS arrivé avant.

Warning killed my betta
Killed my betta Rosalie. Very upset and sad, our 1 year old (to us) Betta was absolutely thriving as a fiah, very active and responsive. We’ve treated the water in the past with real almond leaves. I saw this and thought what an easy option… unfortunately within a few hours our colorful Rosalie started breathing heavily and turning white (losing all color). Dead within 24 hours of using. Please don’t chance buy the leaves!
