I have a friend who's selling me an Ngt for 60 bucks it's about 2-3 inches
and I normally add blackwater extract into my tanks for my smaller arowanas.Do you think the ngt would be okay if it's in Blackwater conditions?
Thanks.

Well, I'm sure that many view true blackwater conditions as being quite different than simply supplementing your tank with something like Kent Blackwater Pro or similar product. However, before evolving to my present lazy state, I used to "age" the water for my wcs with Blackwater Pro, Ketapeat Nuggets, etc. My STs and NGTs seemed to be oblivious to its presence...which is probably why I eventually stopped using it.

Thanks for the response guys!
I'll just keep adding the blackwater extract.

as long as the ph of the water is at 7 or above you will be fine
