Wonderful as always!! botanicals never fail to make a just okay tank look fantastic :) Will be ordering again as always
Everything with my purchase was easy and my leaves arrived quickly. I followed the instructions and made a tea from the leaves after boiling them. It did turn the water in my 5-gal tank brackish or tea colored. I'm not sure if my betta liked it or not. He didn't say. I was hoping it would heal a spot on his fin but that spot has been there so long and hasn't changed so I now think it's just a discoloration. I'm hoping my fish was happy. My friends think he is "pampered." If nothing else it probably sanitized my tank.
Best product ever!!
I used to use just almond leaves, this is such a game changer. I ordered the maroon.
Snails love these!!! Thank you so much.
My snails are obsessed with anything natural and the jungle pods have become their new favorite place! My betta likes it, but the snails really do!
Plants arrived in a plastic pouch, with no cloth or anything to help keep them alive. Beyond that, they did arrive alive; albeit a bit butchered. I spoke with quality and they are rectifying the problem. Thank you for fixing this!
Hi Devan, I am sorry to hear about your experience. I strive to ensure my plants arrive healthy, and do apologize for any inconvenience caused. I have a robust DOA Policy, and if the plants arrive in poor condition, I will reship fresh ones. Please contact me so I can assist. Thank you for your feedback. -Ben
I just got my first order of Betta Tea bags. Purchasing both the brown and maroon bags will let me experiment with using both color tea bags at once and see what beautiful color I will obtain.
Having a 10 gallon tank there is about 9 gallons of actual water. Only needed 24 hours for one maroon colored bag to make the tank turn a very dark maroon. The instructions said to keep in 48 hours. That wasn’t necessary. The bag was dropped into the water as a dry bag. It was placed in the water baffle that was in front of the water pump.
Used to make the botanicals using the long process with a dry Indian almond leaf and boiling water. Just dropping the teabag in the water gives me ALL the natural botanicals.
I have a beautiful Hellboy Placket 1/2 moon Betta and 3 cory catfish. They are loving the botanicals. All very active and hungry.. The male betta is busy making lots of bubble nests. Proof he is happy.
Thank you Ben for making these teabags available. Also for the helpful emails.
Boiled these beforehand and let cool. Used the tannin water in a few tanks, attached pilo moss to the pods, moved them into tanks and they are fully Scarlet Badis approved.
If there’s any small business I recommend buying from, it is this one. I received the best customer service from Ben who helped resolve an issue quickly and easily. These products are the first of many I’ve tried that actually give me the dark water I’ve been wanting and knowing they are quality products makes it even better. I will definitely be buying more in the future!
These are a huge hit with my neos, will definitely order more products in the future!
fish are loving it, shrimp are thriving and keeping daphnia has never been easier.
This one came a beautiful green, very healthy and already is growing new leaves and I’ve only had it for a few days. I’m very happy with the shipping and the way they were packaged. Plants stayed very healthy in transit.
I like how easy these are to use, I sometimes don’t like the look of leaves in my tank and so tea bags is a great way to have tannins in the water without the feeling of changing the look of my tank too much. I also love that you can simply take it out once you feel like you’ve reached the level of tannins that you want and you can save it to use later for a few days. Highly recommend!
Mine arrived looking more brown than green but it adds different color into my tank so I can’t complain! Very healthy and already has new growth!
Betta tea is THE BEST! You will not find a more natural easy way to add tannins/humric acid into your tanks for any black water fish! My betta fish bennifit from them so much and they have healed my bettas from sicknesses many times without the use of hard medication!
