Tried Tetra Blackwater-- minimal effect

Worked great. Used the blackwater extract, calmed one of my extra-jittery aro when all else failed. Since then Im convinced. Never tried ketapang leaves.

I use BW quite often
I will add about one capful into my tank every weak after 2 wc. Notice that the fish eats better n is calmer

i use bw regularly and will top up with every wc.

tried Tetra & OTTO BW but find that OTTO is too concentrated as it is condensed type so must not overdose it.

Tetra BW is good and saved my arowana once during a massive WC (WC no choice).

hi,
I beg to differ.
I had tried the tetra blackwater. I find it effective for my aro.

This product is not to increase the "darkness" of the water but rather, it contain some natural minerals that are effective in calming the aros.
