Black Water Extract

[ricko10]

is there any way of making your own black water extract?

Aside from buying Betta Spa? When I need some I buy off of Aquabid, but I don't know about what you have to do in the UK.

What I use is peat extract.
Buy a bag of peat moss that has had no chemical additives, Place a handful of peat in the leg of womens tights and pull it through again. (effectively you have a handful of peat in a double mesh sock). Place this in a 2 gallon bucket and leave for around 2 weeks then use the run off for your waterchanges.
