I made UNIQUE TEA-INFUSED BETTA AQUARIUM | Step by step AQUASCAPING TUTORIAL | EP1

I made a simple and natural Betta blackwater aquarium. In this step by step aquascaping tutorial I will show you how this simple aquascape was built. The effect of "black water" ("brown water") was achieved by adding rooibos tea. Like other herbal teas, rooibos tea contains tannins, which can help mimic natural water conditions. Rooibos tea helps boost the immune system of fish as it contains strong antioxidants, it also helps against microbes and fungus.
