SunGrow Mini Freshwater Indian Almond Leaves Aquarium Water Conditioner for Betta Fish & Shrimp, 50 count

We bought these to split between my daughters small community and betta tank (a 29 gallon) and my own smaller betta tank (5 gallon). Absolutely love them! Add great tannins into the water and made the color the lovely amber brown we wanted, so healthy for the fish and looks natural for us! And the bettas especially look happier.

They add a nice look and ambiance to my tanks, but they don’t offer much else. I like how it’s leaf littler instead of a giant almond leaf, but if you’re looking for the benefits of tannins on a larger scale, I’d go with the standard Indian Almond Leaves over this leaf litter, but I do like the look this product gives an aquarium!

they arrived in perfect condition, and I got a good amount for the price. Boil a handful of leaves in a bit of water until they turn dark brown. Let the water cool, then add the leaves to your aquarium. You can also add some or all of the tea-colored water based on whether you want a blackwater & naturalistic stream look. My yoyo loaches love the leaves, and since the leaves provide hiding spots, the yoyo loaches spend more time being cute instead of hiding. Over time, the leaves will turn dark brown and start to decay, so you'll need to add more periodically.
