Good question. I'd never seen them in stores but hadn't really been looking. Got these on the raffle table last month. Maybe one of the sponsor stores will know?
Indian almond leaves will release tannins, which give the water a yellow-brown tint. If you don't like the colour, you can run carbon on the tank and the tannins will disappear. Tannins are actually beneficial for fish and even encourage breeding in some fish, eg bettas.
That's what I thought but not noticing much colour change? Maybe a slight tinge. Will have a proper look tonight.

Yep, the tannins will disappear, as will ALL other organics from the leaves. So why use them if you don't want the colour?

Pretty nice idea as a tea-bag. Very convenient.They are available in some stores. Those particular ones off the raffle table came from The Tech Den.

They are good. The dont make as much leaf litter. So i used them in my Discus tank. i used actual IAL in my Apistogramma tanks as the leaf litter is great.
It says change 1 per week but TBH they last a few weeks each depending on how big water changes are.

I use to buy them from him. Pretty good prices too. If anyone is thinking of doing an order, let me know I may be interested in getting in some as well.
