• Shield Your Beautiful Betta --- More common in uncycled tanks and small bowls, fin rot begins to eat away a betta fish’s beautiful fins. Be careful not to confuse fin rot with fin biting, tearing or splitting. They are caused by physical injury from boredom, fighting or snagging sharp decor. If your betta has fin rot, you will specifically see white, red or black edges on the deteriorating fins.
• Miracle Leaves Keep Betta In An Optimal State --- Fin rot, sometimes called fin melt or tail rot, is fairly common. It is caused by things that exist in your aquarium water. These undesirables start becoming a menace when your betta has a weak growth or when you are raising a vulnerable fry. You can keep your betta fish in optimal health by adding these phenomenal leaves.
• Other Medication Not Required --- If you spot fin rot before it gets too severe, you can stop the spread using wholesome Indian almond leaves. Catappa leaves help your betta fish to get in better shape faster. It is best to keep catappa leaves in your tank because once fin rot becomes too bad, it will require medication.
• Speed Up The Breeding Process --- Although bettas are generally interactive fish, they do enjoy a little alone time once in a while. The pack of 50 catappa leaves from SunGrow can provide shelter when placed on the bottom of your betta tank. Your pet fish will love to swim behind and under the leaves to take a rest or a nap. The leaves are also a great place for breeding betta to spawn their eggs.
• Contains Highly Beneficial Compounds --- Once the catappa leaves, also referred to as ketapang leaves, are fully saturated with water, their beneficial compounds begin to work. These compounds cause your aquarium water to darken and have tons of beneficial supplements that relax your betta fish and help aid in a long, happy life. These compounds are similar to those needed to treat fin melt.

Details: How to Detect Fin Rot? Fin rot is brought on by poor water conditions, stress and inconsistent feeding. When it begins to take hold on your betta, you may notice physical and behavioral changes. In the early stages, the edges of your fish’s fins will start to discolor causing red, black, brown or white edges. Fins and tails will begin to fray and small pieces will fall off leaving a ragged edge. It will spread uniformly from the top of the body to the tail area. If it gets severe, it makes it harder for your betta to swim, making him less active than normal. It is important to be sure your betta has tail melt and not a physical injury as you don’t want to medicate an otherwise healthy fish. Regular water changes along with catappa leaves keep your tank clear and your fish healthy. Overcrowding and uncycled water are other common causes of inadequate water quality. Therefore, it is crucial that your betta’s aquarium water is clear and heated, and there is plenty of room to roam. Adequate size for single betta is 5-gallons and the smaller the tank, the water quality will affect quickly. Smaller tanks will, therefore, need water changes often, sometimes every 3-4 days. Ideal Conditions for Betta Fish As fin melt is most commonly caused by poor water quality, it is important to know the ideal living conditions for a betta. Betta fish prefers a pH that is neutral (7.0) with an ideal range of 6.8-7.4, and the temperature range should be between 78°F - 81°F. Once the temperature begins to drop below 78°F or water condition levels get too high or too low, betta fish will become stressed and they will become weak. Get a reliable pH test kit and a thermometer to check the levels in your betta tank at least once or twice per week to proactively monitor your aquatic pet’s environment.
