The leaves will turn RED once soaked in water! Great product!
I have a 10 gallon tank. It is well filtered and heated. I condition the water and add beneficial bacteria. I do water changes every two weeks and nearly a full change each month. I also have four different species of plants. I have a female betta and one female danio ( I had 3 danios, but the female betta killed them. She has lived peacefully with the third danio for weeks in account of the danio swims super fast, so the betta gave up. Also they are both happy and healthy.) Good, now that we have a little backstory, let me tell you my experience with these almond leaves.When I first received the package, the leaves were lovely in shape and were not too fragile. They held their form well. I put seven leaves in the tank. The package said 10 leaves for 12 gallons but I have a 10 gallon. Immediately my curious betta examined the leaves. She continues to attempt to eat the stem, possibly because it resembles her feeding tongs. My betta was glass surfing because a plant was dying in my tank and had gone unnoticed.I purchased these leaves to hopefully reduce the stress of the ammonia spike that had happened previously. Immediately after adding the leafs I see a change in attitude and she is playful and relaxed. My danio doesn’t really care, but I know this meant a lot for my betta.At first, the leaves do not match the color of the leaves advertised. I wasn’t very worried about what the color would be when they arrived, I was more worried about the fragility of them considering they’re dried leaves coming in the mail. Like I said they arrived safely and have wonderful form.After 8 hours of them still floating at the top, I decided to flip them over. To which most of them sank within 30 seconds. The package label stated that I could use 20 to 30 leaves in a 12 gallon tank if a stronger color was desired. I was using these leaves for medicinal reasons. I had initially thought that adding too many leaves could be toxic. I will keep this in mind for the future. I took a final picture after 3 days of leaves in a ten gallon. I can see a light coloration in the water and the leaves now have a vibrant red-brown color. Great value for my money, and well worth the buy. I will be purchasing again in the future. It’s unfortunate that so many people were not patient enough with the product. Many reviews that I saw on here were about how the leaves didn’t match the color in the picture. Their loss!

Smaller than what I expected.
I knew these were going to be small, but they were even smaller than what I thought they would be. Not a terrible purchase, but probably not the best purchase either. Just buy the bigger leaves, and cut to fit, instead of buying these smaller ones.edit–So it’s now June 13th, and I STILL have these same leaves in my tank (5+ months). Wow, talk about staying power! Again, not the worst thing in the world, because they look amazing in the tank! However! If you’re looking for the medicinal benefits of Indian Almond Leaves (Catappa leaves), then I recommend going with a mature variety. Those will decompose in about 4 weeks.These small ones are really nice, but I’m just concerned about how proficient they are at leaching their properties into my tank. I won’t fault the seller or the leaves on this though. It’s still a great product, and I really like the leaf litter look to my tank. They are slowly breaking down though, and at this point, I would say they are almost gone. Only about 20% of the material remains. My Cherry Shrimp positively love them.

No desired effects + April 2024 Review
10/10/2023: I bought this product “100pc Catappa IAL Leaves” on September 18, 2023. Safe to say I’ve used this product (multiple leaves) over the course of a month for both my tanks. It does work as hides for my ghost shrimp and they love to graze on it, BUT- it does NOT have the desired effects! No tannins! I tried making a tannin extract with multiple leaves in a small glass container with BOILING water, as I’ve done before with larger leaves that came from Vietnam (home country). Wanna know the results? No tannins! The Vietnamese leaves were also catappa leaves, and they leaked tannins, tons of them! I boiled both types of leaves to rid of pests, but I am absolutely FLOORED with the SunGrow product! I love the tannin effect, this product has not been the greatest. Next time anyone I know goes to Vietnam, I’ll be sure to ask them to take more catappa leaves instead of buying from here again.4/26/2024: hello again. I’ve had these ins forage for a while and decided to bring them out again, to try it again to see if time had affected the product(s). The first time I used these was the review above. It never leaked significant amounts of tannins, or any at all. My previous time was boiling (again), but I had incorporated boiling with a pot for several minutes with a large amount of water. It took a long time for the leaves to boil down and change color, but when it did, it looked like the color of the leaves from Vietnam. I added more water (not necessary) and waited more, the water had become tannic after a long time of waiting! After a while, I was able to pour it into my tank (carefully and after it cooled!!!!) and the tank had changed very nicely! This time, today, I’m just putting it into a small pot of water with some leaves. I can already smell the tea lol, and the leaves’ color has changed drastically, though the water isn’t stained yet. The method I’m using now is a DIY Blackwater extract, aka tannin extract. My goal is to achieve the same effects as the first successful time. lol I can already see the tannins coming out.Uh, what I wanted to say was, if it doesn’t seem fresh enough or “work” for you, please consider making a backwater/tannin extract with these leaves. They will break down in the boiling water eventually, causing tannins to leak. You might have to wait a long time though. I’m already about 5-15minutes into boiling these “stale” ones I got the first time around.

Natural Habitat Enhancer
These Catappa leaves are a fantastic addition to my betta fish tank! They not only create a more natural environment but also provide essential benefits like tannins that help condition the water. My bettas seem much happier, and the leaves make a great hiding spot for them. Plus, the shrimp and guppies appreciate them too. With 50 leaves in the pack, it’s an excellent value for enhancing both aesthetics and fish health in the aquarium!

I’m using these as lead litter in several small and nano tanks. Perfect for microdosing vs trading up larger full grown leaves. These don’t tend to break down as fast either and my water hasn’t coloured up as with the full sized adult Catappa leaves. Which consequently skeletonized within three weeks submersion. These make perfect leaf litter hiding places for my shrimp.Because they last so well I won’t need to reorder any time soon. But I’ll keep these on my reorder list for later. Very happy with purchase.

I chose this particular product as it seemed quite good value for money and this is true. It is a nice big pack of leaves. I added 2 leaves to my betta hospital tank to assist with healing as I’ve had a bit of a tank nightmare and betta fin do seem to be healing however this is I’m combination with regular water changes, aquarium salt and bettafix. The leaves didn’t Float for a couple of days in the other tank but I boiled some for the hospital tank as per instructions and they sink straight away. I can see tannins in water quickly and you can control how many with how many leaves you add, I’ve only added a few so it’s not noticeable on first glance that there is a Tint to the water. So overall good value for money and do car good functionality and appearance.
