This will stimulate the bettas natural habitat, as wild bettas live in water tinted by decaying wood and leaves and with a lower pH. Should the water become too dark or brown, remove the Mopani wood and soak in a container of clean water, continually changing the water until the shade goes from dark brown to light brown or clear. If using a filter with your betta, you may also add carbon to the filter to remove the brown tint.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Freshwater Fish 'N Stuff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46420584792377,"sku":"ZM24210","price":2.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/6085\/4329\/files\/zoo-med-betta-mopani-wood-ruby-mountain-aquarium-supply.jpg?v=1704761127","url":"https:\/\/19d36d.myshopify.com\/products\/zoo-med-betta-mopani-wood","provider":"Ruby Mountain Aquarium supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
