  • Is Blackwater extract only for breeding Bettas, or is it good to add it to their water anyway?

    The information I am getting researching is coming up short of a definite answer.

    My betta info: I have my Betta in a 10 gallon tank with a Penguin 100 Bio-Wheel power filter, an air stone, gravel and various plants. Used gravel from an established tank and also put filter media from an established filter inside the filter box. Have slightly less than 1 TBSP/5 gal of aquarium salt for the initiation period, temp at 75F, he is swimming around happily and flaring at his reflection. (I also keep a 55 gal Oscar tank and 29 gal Molly tank.) I will phase the salt out, although I know Mollies don't mind a bit of salt in their water and Bettas do have a similar look in the face.

    Any honest advice, links, experiences will be greatly appreciated.
