Bettarazzi Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
