By placing this small piece of Mopani wood in your Betta tank it will naturally leach “tannins” which will give the water a light to dark brown tint plus lower the pH of your water. (Bettas in the wild live in water naturally tinted by decaying wood and leaves and with a lower pH.) Should the water be too dark brown or not to your liking you can remove the Mopani wood and soak in a clean container of water continually changing the water until the shade goes from a dark brown to light brown or clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf using a filter with your Betta fish you can add carbon to the filter which will also remove the brown tint. Please contact customer service should you have any further questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zoo Med","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55286595387719,"sku":"12518","price":2.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/7456\/1607\/files\/BA-10-Betta-Mopani.jpg?v=1791199089","url":"https:\/\/www.thereptileshop.co.uk\/products\/zoo-med-betta-mopani-wood-ba-10","provider":"The Reptile Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
