In-depth Instructions Found In Our Pride Pack Blog Post 🌈

Diversity", "love", and "pride" are not just words to us. They are an expression of the values which we hold most dear, and which define everything that makes life special. We believe that everyone deserves a welcoming, loving world. Supporting LGBTQ+ youth is a special mission, one which Betta Botanicals and its owner Benjamin Peterson fully support. 

During Pride Month 2024, it's our honor to celebrate and support our LGBTQ+ community, and what better to do it than with a diverse, specially curated botanical package?! As a special part of the package, a percentage of each purchase will be donated on our behalf to The Trevor Project, a wonderful organization that aims to prevent LGBTQIA+ suicide. By purchasing this pack, you’re joining the Betta Botanicals 'Trevor Community' to affirm and celebrate the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth! 


This special variety pack features some of our favorite botanicals...and some brand-new items you can only get in this pack. We have included a small substrate enhancement pack full of tree fern fiber, cinnamon bark, and Thai cutch tree bark. Our botanicals include an assortment of guava leaves, longan leaves, coconut flower sticks, Terminalia catappa leaves, banana bark, flat sterculia, and melastoma root pieces! A diverse selection of colors and textures, to celebrate the beauty of diversity.

Aquarium Botanical FAQs

Commonly Asked Questions:

 

1) Will Botanicals Lower The pH Of My Water?

It entirely depends on your water's chemistry. Soft water will allow the botanicals to lower your pH more than if you have medium or hard water. At Betta Botanicals HQ our tap water is Very Hard, ( 350+ppm) and we do not notice a change in water pH unless using Alder Cones or Macaranga Leaves.

 

2) What Are The Fluffy White Growth On My Botanicals?

White growths are the colonization of biofilms and fungi. We call this the 'goo phase' and it is totally natural. Botanicals are fuel for the ecosystem and the populations of bacteria and fungi will naturally rise and fall. 

 

3) I Don't Keep Bettas. Will These Botanicals Be Okay For My Critters?

100% yes. Our botanicals are for aquariums, terrariums, vivariums, and all natural enclosures wishing to recreate a more natural environment.

 

4) I Have Goldfish and Axolotls, What Botanicals Should I Avoid?

We DO NOT recommend using botanicals that these fish can ingest. Botanicals like casuarina cones, small alder cones, and live oak are not suited for these animals. Large aquarium leaves like Indian almond, loquat, and jackfruit leaf litter are preferred. 

 

5) When Should I Replace My Aquarium Leaves?

We recommend letting aquarium leaves and seed pods entirely break down into beneficial detritus. You can absolutely remove them after they don’t release tannins anymore, you just won't get all potential benefits of leaving them in the ecosystem.
