Wonderful!
By DarlingsMom on Mar 14, 2021
I got these for my Betta who is recovering from a lot of things I had no idea about (long story). He’s in a five gallon tank by himself, heated with a filter. I cut one leaf in half and rinsed it in warm water. Let it dry and then submerged it in his tank, I stuck part of it under his skull hideout. During the first week of it being in there I learned that you need to have a non-carbon filter because the carbon takes most of the tannins out of the water...geez!! So I went on a hunt for a new filter. Make sure you guys pay attention to the the PH levels also. They can tend to drop with IAL in there. My water did turn slightly darker.

Looks nice and Diego likes it
By Nope on Jan 28, 2021
I got these to keep my tank natural for my betta Diego. He seem to like it. Took 3 days to sink and didn’t really turn my water brown like everyone was saying but did turn it a lil cloudy. I put one leaf in a 3.5 gallon tank. And plan on switching them out once every couple weeks. Although I don’t see why you can’t leave it in there longer. The only reason why it didn’t get 5 stars was because it don’t state how to store the leaves til you use them.

Great quality
By Faith on Feb 20, 2021
I had saved my betta from an apartment fire and she was super stressed from everything. Her color faded and she started to fin nip. I ordered these and cut one in half since they are pretty big. Put it in and two days later her color was back and she was no longer fin nipping. Will order these again when I run out!

My betta loves them
By Jenn on Feb 13, 2021
As always shipping is fast and to my surprise the leaves were bigger than expected. Brought home a new betta with a bit of fin rot. I ripped up one leaf in pieces and put it in my 10g. My betta loves to hide under the pieces that have sunk in. Can’t wait for him to get his color back and have new fin growth

May have saved my new Betta!
By BZOO on Feb 17, 2021 top250Contributor
Had a new Betta that was very active in the store. Day after I brought him home, he was lethargic and not eating. Popped up a piece of this in and he's back to being active and eating. Broke up a leaf and put parts in all my Betta tanks. Happy fish!

Amazing Value
By Jameson on Feb 28, 2021
I don't normally review things, but these leaves are amazing. They are HUGE, and you get a ton of them. Great value. Fish stores sell tiny pathetic leaves for double this price.

Much bigger then expected!
By Melanie on Nov 19, 2020
I have seen some in stores that are not much bigger then the fish itself. These leaves are big and you really get money’s worth.

Great but turns water brown
By jessc on Aug 20, 2020
Our betta seems to really love these! But they turn the water brown immediately. I almost gave it 4 stars because of that but I understand a healthy habitat isn't always crystal clear. Our betta seems really happy now so 5 stars it is! Very affordable and we've reused the same leaf a couple times now.
