I added a bunch of catappa leaves to my goldfish tank when they were starting to show early signs of fin rot. The tannins these added to the water cleared up the fin rot pretty quickly without lowering the pH too much. (I tested before and after.) They take about 2-3 months to degrade. I will be keeping this up as a regular part of my tank maintenance from now on.
After adding several of these leaves to a 6 gallon tank, twice The water never changed colors as it should have had there been tannins in these leaves. I found them to not be helpful at all I will not buy Sun grow leaves again.
These are about one inch leaves each and they add great tannis to your tank! My betta loves these! So do my shrimp.
