Also stimulates the urge to breed if you are set up to do so. Domestic shipping with tracking included in the price.
SO, WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A "BLACKWATER" AQUARIUM?
Lets talk about about the "blackwater" environment and its affect on fish.
beyond being beautiful , there are some real possible health benefits. Tannic and humic acids found in natural materials which break down and produce blackwater are known to have some anti-fungal properties, as theorized for many years by Betta breeders in Southeast Asia, who claim that their fishes heal up quickly from skin infections when exposed to blackwater.
The lower pH in "blackwater" also coincides with lower concentrations of heavy metals in the water, and reduced sodium, magnesium, potassium, and calcium concentrations. As you might suspect, there are far less snails and other aquatic crustaceans found in blackwater systems than in other bodies of water as well.
