HOSIW 10 Catappa Leaves & 25 Alder Cones for Aquariums (Indian Almond Leaves, Terminilia) 5-8" Long

I have a 55 gallon aquarium that has been going for 6 months now. In all that time none of my snails have ever laid any eggs but since adding these to my tank they have laid clutches and have started breeding. I think this help relax them.Delete we're all-in-one piece and I didn't receive any broken ones. They look clean and free from any type of pests or residues. The same goes for the cones.The only thing that bothers me is that the leaves and the cones float. Some of the cones have sunk to the bottom of the aquarium but some are still floating, days after adding them. I'm having to hold the leaves down with some gravel. I think this is probably typical and I probably should have soaked them before adding them so it's no fault of theirs.This is a great deal for the price you pay as well and I highly recommend them!

Did a great job adding tannins to the water, however the alder cones had a negative chemical reaction to something in Flourish Excel that turned the water solid black and killed my snails and shrimp. So be cautious using in planter tanks if using liquid ferts.

Got these and it’s ok. The leaves were pretty broken up.

All the leaves came intact seems to have come from a quality source

The Alder Cones are extremely small and often get sucked up into my syphon when I was cleaning the tank. I've since removed them. The leaves are great if you're going for the black water look. Personally, I've found it's cheaper and more efficient to use Peat Moss in my sump.

You get your moneys worth.

Good. Leaves bigger than expected
