Review: Nice selection of Indian Almond Leaves - This review is for the large Indian Almond Leaves not the mini. They arrive in a flat plastic bag neatly stacked, each leaf is approximately 8 inches long. It's supposed to be a pack of 10 but contained 12, no complaints. If you aren't sure whether to get the mini or the large, I'd suggest getting the large since you can always cut them to the size you want (cuts as easy as paper) especially if you plan on using this as a hammock for your Betta fish to lay on or as a bubble nest canopy. For those new to using the leaves, do be aware that the longer they are left in your tank the more tannins get into the water which (much like tea) will discolor the water a bit. A safe start is to have a cycle of putting a leaf in for a week then taking it out for a week. If you find that your fish are happier with it in and you don't mind the light brown tint, you can go longer with the in/out cycle or just keep replacing the leaves every week or so. The larger the tank the less noticeable the brown tint will be (to remove the tint, do partial water changes or use activated carbon). If your tank is large enough with a variety of fish and bottom feeders you may find that the leaf dissolves and disappears on its own. Not all Bettas respond to the leaves, but the way they work is that the leaves are rich in compounds that are antibacterial and antifungal so if your Betta is discolored or struggling with finrot or is stressed the leaves can help rectify the issues. Essentially the leaf slowly decomposes, releasing tannins along the way acting as a water conditioner altering the water chemistry (lowers PH and kills bad bacteria). In healthy Bettas this can stimulate breeding (plus fry love to hide among these leaves). Before putting a leaf in your tank rinse it off, even a healthy leaf could contain pesticides. Put the unused leaves in an airtight container and they will last many months. When you first put a leaf in it will float, though you can push it down to rest among other plants or there's even a Betta leaf suction cup with clip item available on desertcart (called SunGrow Betta Bed Kit) that you can clip your leaf to if you want to force it to sit under the water line to be used as a hammock though can probably rig your own. If you want the tannin benefit without having to worry about changing leaves in your tank, alternatively you can boil the leaves like you would for tea and dump the tannin water in your tank. If your Betta seems stressed or depressed these leaves might just be the thing he needs to perk up, or if you are looking to breed your Betta these leaves will help create the environment needed to stimulate bubble nest making. The recommended leaf dose is 1 of these large 8" leaves per 12 gallons, so cut the leaf according to your tank size. You don't want to overdose and shock your fish, better to start small and see how your fish responds to his new leaf toy. It's worth a try, most Bettas love these leaves even just to play with and nibble on. Enjoy!
Review: Better than the smaller ones. Good value for money. - These are so big they’re a much better bang for your buck. The small ones are ok but I prefer these bigger ones because they can be cut up & used as needed. I boil them to make sure they’re safe, but they have no weird smell or any other abnormalities. I’ve added them to my aquarium & they’ve helped my Betta by regulating the PH of my water. So they definitely work - especially help with fin rot! They’ve never given me any issues or had any ill effect on my fish or my aquarium plants so they’re safe to use.

## Features

- Induce Breeding --- SunGrow Betta Leaves are a must-have for taking care of Betta fish. They act as a shelter to betta and assist them in spawning. Our leaves also help their skin and scales stay hard and still, smooth and slippery at the same time.
- Stress Reliever --- Bettas have been known to display improved behavior when SunGrow Betta Leaves are introduced to the tank. Because the leaves create an environment similar to their native habitat, your fish will start interacting with the leaves within the day they are introduced.
- For Playing And Hiding --- Small shrimps, fry and fishes enjoy swimming through and hiding in the Cholla Wood to feel secure.
- For Overall Development --- After introducing the SunGrow Betta Leaves, you will notice your tank water changing color to tea color. These miracle leaves contain beneficial elements. Remove the leaves only when they start to disintegrate.
- Easy To Use --- Just drop a few leaves into your tank. Bettas will start nibbling on the leaves, using them for cover or may even lay eggs on the leaves. PREPARATION: Before placing the product in the aquarium, rinse before use, even after boiling or soaking. A "post-boil soak" in fresh water is a recommended step, too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the Amber Hue - Curious About Elevated pH
*by D***D on December 30, 2017*

I purchased these Indian Almond Leaves, because I read that they can actually heal fin rot, which my poor betta has very badly, despite me keeping his tank ammonia and nitrite -free. I can't report any improvement to his fins (the tannins from the leaves are the healthy compounds), but I will say that his tank's water quality has been beautifully stable ever since I added them. I test it daily, and even the nitrates are cruising at .0 ppm. The only reason why I'm still doing 20% water changes is because of his fin rot (which still won't heal). But it really does seem that the leaf and its tannins keep the water chemistry perfectly balanced. Speaking of balanced water chemistry, these tannins naturally lower the pH, which bettas prefer. They thrive with their water slightly acidic... around 6.8. HOWEVER, I noticed that my pH has remained a bit on the high side of the scale since adding the leaf; consistantly at 7.2. I don't really understand why this is the case. Ultimately, it almost doesn't matter where the pH sits for bettas, as long as it's consistant. But I'm just curious why the leaf seemed to raise it. If anyone who reads this has a speculation about why this is, I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts. One more thing worth mentioning... it will DEFINITELY turn your water a dark amber color! Don't be afraid; you want that. However, after it gets nearly too dark to see your betta, do one or two small water changes over the course of a few days, and you'll start to see a lovely CLEAR and NATURAL amber hue that's light enough to see everything in the tank again. It looks like a true brackish tank now... so pretty... I followed the preparation instructions exactly, which involve boiling and rinsing each leaf, prior to adding it to the tank (precautionary). The leaves are large, so I broke one leaf into two large pieces and one smaller piece for my betta to play with, which he doesn't seem to do. But each betta is very different in personality, and yours might like playing with pieces of the leaves!
