I have a new betta, Obsidian, with a fin nipping problem. I managed to sort of stop it by turning on his bubbler back on after I turned it off a few days ago to reduce current. But his fins are a little tattered so I'm looking to reduce stress further and also prevent fin rot. I have decided on putting Indian almond leaves in the tank. It's a heated, filtered, planted 5 gallon tank and I'm currently dosing aquarium salt.
Here's my question though, how many should I put? My tank has some RCS as well as some snails, and I heard the leaves lower ph, so I don't want to go overboard. My ph is around 7.8 at the moment. I would like to be able to achieve a deep tea color, and not just yellow, but would that lower ph so much that my snails can't cope? Would cuttlebone or a calcium supplement work?
