My Red & Gold

[Koji]

Have tried another method of keeping my red for over afew weeks. Today is result day.

Water is slightly tinted with ketapang leaf.

Pictures are not edited except resize and sharpening.

Set another light infront of the tank this time round and pictures turn out clearer.

Fights is going on and there're some damages been inflicted to them. Hope they will settle down soon.

Ketapang leaves (TERMINALIA CATAPPA) are sometimes known as Indian almond leaves or Huu Kwang leaves and are native to South East Asia. Their use is the 'trade secret' why some breeders are so successful in breeding Dicsus, Bettas, Angel fish, Arowanas, Neons etc in Malaysia and Singapore. They release organic acids like humic and tannins which lowers the pH of the water, absorbs harmful chemicals and help create a soothing and calm environment for the fish.

Traditional medicinal uses:
Leaves, bark and fruits: dysentery (Southeast Asia); dressing of rheumatic joints (Indonesia, India).
Fruits and bark: coughs (Samoa), asthma (Mexico).
Fruits: leprosy, headaches (India),
Ripe fruits: travel nausea (Mexico)
Leaves: get rid of intestinal parasites (Philippines); treat eye problems, rheumatism, wounds (Samoa); stop bleeding during teeth extraction (Mexico), fallen leaves used to treat liver diseases (Taiwan), young leaves for colic (South America).
Juice of leaves: scabies, skin diseases, leprosy (India, Pakistan)
Bark: throat and mouth problems, stomach upsets and diarrhoea (Samoa); fever, dysentery (Brazil).
Modern research has identified some properties which could be used to treat high blood pressure.

I know what you mean. Some say must not starve them for when they're hungry they get aggressive. But mine are fed till they stop eating yet still fight...
