the leaves or the extract is used to make the water more like it is in their natural environment. It adds humic acid and tannins to the water. Lowers the PH etc etc I use betta spa, which is an extract of almond leaves and a few other things as well which also help bind ammonia, add calcium to the water and so on. The bubble nests end up stickier and its good for conditioning bettas for breeding.

is it worth getting almond leaves or some betta spa.
Cheers,

Every penny. Of course, here in the Philippines we don't need to buy IAL. It's practically everywhere.

Here's a useful article if you need more info.

I would say it was worth getting.
