Ketapang leaf for CRS

[brightsp@rky]

I have read that CRS also love Ketapang leaf.

Is it true?
Where can it be purchased? I even read that it is free. Where to pick?

I live in the Hougang-Serangoon vacinity. How can I recognise the tree. So I can pick for free. hehe

Sorry I am a noob. what is black water? I want to feed the CRS with the ketapang leaf. I want to look for it, where to get it for free.

Black water is like Ketapang leaves i think... You can buy Ketapang leaves at C328 or Y618 or you can get it around yishun area for free.

Hi,

Ketapang leaf is not a kind of food, it is place in the water and make the water look brownish hence termed as blackish water.

cheers

Ah so...now I understand. Did a search in the forum, and found out it is indeed for treatment. Thanks for all the help and advice.

No problem, recommend to use it if you are keeping shrimps, mine start to breed when i start to introduce the leaves.

Ketapang leaves lower Ph and they loves to feed on it. but dun use it as a main source of food. do introduce wafers too.

its very cheap a pack for a gold coin and can use for months..

Is it what they call soft water ?

Don't think of it as a softenizer. It's more of a water conditioner that adds tannic acids like tea.
