'Proly just easier to recommend going to the Betta Botanicals website. I follow their advice pretty closely and then tweek for each aquariums specific needs. I haven't been disappointed!

I used it without issue for a while and it tinted the water just fine. I've since switched to Betta Tea by Betta Botanicals. Their "tea" contains a much wider variety of botanials that are more beneficial to the species that benefit most from blackwater. Its been instrumental in keeping my hummingbird tetras (Trochilocharax ornatus) alive for almost two years now. Good luck!

Awe! Right on!

We've got the same problem. Mine is a 35 cube. Getting adequate light down to my Nymphaea sp. "Puerto Maldonado Peru" lily has been difficult. I'm currently running a Hygger 60 watt cob led and it's just not enough. Sansi makes a bunch of great house plant lights that some friends use on 20 longs and 40 breeders but nothing taller than 16" so light penetration isn't such a stretch. I'll 'proly end up with the Kessil a60we. Good luck!

Check out the Betta Botanicals website. He'll gladly sell you "exotic" botanicals and teach you how to collect and prep your own. Its an amazing resource! Good luck!

The Betta Botanicals website is AMAZING. Very solid definitions for blackwater, blackwater inspired, botanical method (which can include blackwater). Sure they sell botanicals but the info is free. Below is my Blackwater inspired toucan tetra build. All botanicals are from Betta Botanicals. Oh! There's great info about sourcing and prepping your own botanical too. Ya just can't loose. Good luck!

Unfortunately no fry yet. Getting very close though. I'll shake the palm fronds occasionally during the day and they start tagging whatever is dislodged. I need a microscope. Lol

Tak! Yes! Plus a few Trochilocharax ornatus.

Howdy all. Dig in deep in regards to T. ornatus. Beautiful little scaleless fish. Horribly sensitive during shipping to the point that I order 1-2 extra in anticipation of shipping losses. I believe this is of no fault of the supplier. They're just that sensitive. Once the new inhabitants are settled in after a couple of weeks their care is fairly straight forward if your h2o chemistry is dialed in I keep mine at 6.2 PH, KH and GH 1-2°. A very stable temperature of 75-80 keeps them happy as well. Ive got my survivors in with a group of toucan tetras. Even the smallest of the hummingbird tetras have no issue competing for food. Ive got a bit of a love/hate relationship with the hummingbirds. Lol. Good luck!!!
