divy Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 ok well like the topic title says i would like to know whats the difference between black water extract and indian almond leaf extract (Ketapang Leaf extract) ?
Bettarazzi Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 I don't know what's in black water extract. I don't think it's made of IAL if that's what you're getting at. To be honest the only reason I use IAL is because all the Thai breeders swear by it. It would probably be an interesting experiment comparing the effects on bettas of IAL vs. blackwater extract.
Fishchick Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 Natural blackwater is the result of the leaves, branches and bark of many different species of trees leaching tannins into the water. IAL is from the leaves of one tree species only.
y2jdaze Posted November 13, 2007 Report Posted November 13, 2007 isn't the commercial type blackwater extract made from peat or something similar?
