My Panda Shrimp love these!

Made water 'black' within 24 hours

I received my free sample of small alder cones along with the small casuarina cones sample yesterday. Within 24 hours with one of each cone being in the tank, the water on both tanks is completely 'black' and fully tannin stained. For those that want black water it is completely essential for these cones if you don't want Indian almond leaves in the tank, which are larger and break down faster.

Wonderful Addition to Tank!

I added just three of these to my 10 gallon small community tank. The tannins they released were amazing and my corys and shrimp are doing better than ever! I would recommend both these and some Indian almond leaves for your tank for sure!

Most potent leaf I've found

Alright, so I'm no expert here. I've only kept aquariums for about 4 years now. I've bought Almond leaves from a few places, all with about the same results. Toss 2 or 3 leaves into your 20 gallon and you're good! Mostly clear water with a bit of tinge.
Well not with these! You throw 1 leaf Into your 20, go to bed, wake up and BOOM, you're convinced your kids poured cola into your tank. Like can't see anything even with the light.
These things are L O A D E D with tannins
All my wet pets are fine, but I'm about to rip out all 2 feet of my hair here.

If I ever need botanical again, I'm coming here. Shipping took like 2 weeks, but what's the rush, they're already dead! Was worried at first, but reached out and Amanda gave a quick and reassuring response
