Ketapang Leaves

I usually boil the leaves in dechlorinated water with loads of aquarium salt. Then leave it to dry in the sun. Should be safe as I have never experience casualty from the leaves I picked from the parks and roadsides.

You should be able to find them almost everywhere at neighborhood parks. Lots at Bedok North and Reservoir, along side of PIE..

I live at Bedok Reservoir! Which colour is best? Just rinse under running water and put in my tank? I have actually gotten 3 leaves from an LFS before and put it in my tank, but no colour change.... they looked very dry. I have a 56 liter tank. How many leaves should be enough? =]

DawnDeuce, IAL is everywhere, nearest to you would be East Coast Park or along ECP /airport. Number of leaves used would depend on yr objectives, the longer it soak in the tank the darkest the color and the pH could go down to 6-6.5 which is what you might want for yr Betta Macrostoma. 3-4 good size leaves in 2ft tank would get you dark tea color in 1 -2 weeks. Good luck with your spawn
