Ocean Nutrition Betta Spa Indian Almond Leaf Extract FAQs

What does Betta Spa do?

It recreates natural Betta water conditions with wild almond leaf extract. The humic acids and tannins are known for antibacterial and stress-relieving properties, yucca binds ammonia, calcium supports bones and scales, and the water becomes slightly more acidic.

Will Betta Spa tint the aquarium water?

Yes. Natural tannins, lignins and fulvic acids colour the water, as almond leaves do in the wild.

How often should I add Betta Spa?

Add it with every water change, at 5 ml per 8 litres of water.

Is Betta Spa only for Bettas?

No. It is ideal for Bettas but is also recommended for all fish kept in small containers, particularly during transportation.

Does Betta Spa help with breeding?

It helps promote spawning and makes bubble nests stickier. For conditioning the fish themselves, feed Betta Food Pro; for everyday feeding, Atison's Betta Food.
