Thank you for the reply. I’m going to attempt to make this solution, sounds like the miracle cure. Tank water will remain slightly brackish and I Bought a beta fish tannin pack? Kit? At the pet shop, came with a driftwood log, some pine cones and almond leaves to make the blackwater … not as aesthetically pleasing as the clear water, but a slight tint will do for now to make sure there’s no health problems.
