Indian almond leaves: Are these any good for bettas?
Are almond
leaves for betta any good? Yes, they are. Almond leaves
give water characteristics that force betta to think and feel like they are
back in their native homeland. They go super happy, and no sign of stress
remains in their body.
Betta fishes are addicted to the life they earn or
living the wildlife.
This is also one of the biggest reasons betta fish
always seems so down and unhappy sometimes because they truly miss their old
life. Where they can hunt whenever they want to, eat whenever they are hungry,
swim anywhere, the temperature of the water is fantastic, and so many other
things.
In an aquarium there, life becomes so dull and
straightforward. They will nap, get back up, swim, interact with something,
explore anything, swim, eat their food, and sleep. It sounds boring because it
is.
What do these leaves
do?
Besides their benefits, they do a lot of changes in
the water, such as:
l
They maintain the water temperature on
that point which is ideal and suitable for the betta.
l
They increase the happening and mean of
oxygen in the water so that betta can consume more oxygen and not run out of it
anytime soon.
l
The main pH level of the water is as
well. pH level will always be near or equal to 7.
l
If there is no food, betta can eat these
leaves in small amounts. They are not great for bettas, but they get the job
done.
l
They turn the watercolor from crystal
clear to brown and more like yellow ( betta thinks they are in wildlife because
the water in nature is the same color ).
l
They also add the smell and taste of
water similar to that of wildlife water.
When the traits mentioned above are given to the
betta by the Indian almond leaves but remain happier and healthier than before,
they will not be stressed, not anytime soon, because now they are living a life
they always truly deserved.
Catappa leaves
Catappa leaves are just like Indian almond leaves.
What they do is they will drastically decrease the pH level of water if it's in
a higher state or volume. And these leaves are ideal for sensitive fish only,
just like bettas.
They have this ability in them that no matter how
high or low the pH of water may be, catappa leaves will make sure to bring that
pH level as close to 7 as possible—a genuinely fantastic ability.
In doing so, catappa leaves will also soften the
water. This resulted in the betta swimming faster and breathing safer, with no
water pressure on them, and an increase in oxygen level.
Breeding
When the breeding process is about to occur, the
fish keeper and owner inspect the water because the water has to be as soft as
possible, and the pH level shouldn't be higher than 7.
Making
water softer and leveling the pH water level to 7. Catappa
leaves shrimp to provide precisely
this. So yes, Indian almond leaves and catappa leaves aren't good for betta
because they are an essential part of their life.
