Black water is water that has been "stained" by tannins. There are several ways you can go about making blackwater: buy commercially available blackwater mix; boil clean oak leaves (gathered after they have turned brown), and use the resulting liquid (which will be the color of very dark tea, but let it cool before using it); place some sphagnum moss and/or peat (available from your local garden center) in a nylon bag inside your aquarium filter. In the black water aquarium, the water will be clear with a light amber tint.
