LeonBach 100 Pcs Large Catappa for Fish,5-8 Inch 250g Indian Almond Leaves Creates Native Environment,Catappa Leaves Beta Fish Leaf for Aquarium Shrimp Tank Decorations Water Conditioner

I’m not using these for the normal use, I’m making tannic acid out of the leaves for ebonizing wood to be followed up with a vinegar & dissolved steel wool solution. The tonic acid produced by boiling the India leaves helps to stain wood dark black. Isn’t science great! I was happy to see how many you get in the bag, seems like a solid buy.

I have almost 500 gallons worth of aquariums and I use heavy tannins in ALL of them. These are NOT just for Bettas, guys! Not long ago, my Oscar got a gash on her head from jumping to catch a moth that had gotten trapped under the lid. I added about 25 leaves to her 150 gallon tank… By the next morning, the water was a deep, rich amber color and her wound was already showing improvement. Within 48 hours, there wasn’t a mark on her and it was a pretty good sized gash.Since I started using heavy tannins, I can barely remember the last time I had a sick fish.I tend to forage my own botanicals as much as I can but do not have access to Catappa leaves and they have the most bang (tannins) for the buck. Pet stores sell THREE leaves for like 10 bucks! It’s ROBBERY! But here I can buy them 100 at a time for $15. Cannot beat that. They are not all the pretty red ones. But they are good sized, all of my orders have arrived with all 100 leaves intact and were delivered promptly. I’ve ordered from here multiple times and I’m always posting links on FB in my aquarium groups.Great value, great product. Will definitely buy again. A lot. 😉

The fish 🐟 love them its great for their health and offers great medicinal purposes to the culture of the aquarium plus it can make it a dark water tank set up 😁😎

I bought these to add tannins to my African dwarf frog and betta tanks. They're good sized leaves, and were vacuum sealed when I received them. There was no apparent mold of any kind on them, no odd smells, and none were broken. Overall, I was really impressed, especially since I had been paying almost the same price for a 10 count pack from a different seller.I'm mostly using them for "teabags" by putting them in a fine mesh media bag. I just give them a quick rinse and put them in. I haven't had any issues with them.

This was a great purchase, shipping was fast, the price is fair, and the amount is very nice!! All the leaves are well packaged!! This will last me a while.
