Why did you pick this product vs others?:to have additional areas for biome growth for baby cherry shrimp

I ordered these in the past and here i am ordering them again but the smaller size. I've ordered elsewhere where the leaves do NOT have tannins and have a plastic feel. And once i ordered sort of tea bag type leaves that makes the water black. These, however, are perfect amount of tannins for my tank. Usually i boil the leaves and then cool the water and pour the tannin water into my tank. These are perfect. Thank you to the seller

The package has a good amount of botanical, the only complaint I have is that the leaves seem to be cut. I've never seen a leaf where the stem runs horizontally across the leaf.Again, great value but I do wonder if you don't get the whole leaf.

These leaves are fantastic and genuine - they quickly release tannins and give the water that "tea" color, and my Betta loves them. I've tried other brands of catappa leaves, and they didn't do a darn thing other than float and sink - they just seemed like random dried leaves. (At least my snails enjoyed eating them.) My Betta always reacts to the Awesome Aquatics leaves - he ignores the other ones, but with these he seems happier and calmer, and loves hanging out under them (I bought the 4-6" size). I've learned my lesson and will no longer deviate - as long as I keep aquariums I'll stick with these. They make my Betta very happy!PS: Apologies - I didn't get a photo of the leaf while floating on the surface, but I did take a pic after it had sunk to the bottom (it took a few days for that to happen). My Betta loves using it as a hiding place. (The other photo is what the leaves look like in the package.)

I have been using Catappa Indian Almond Leaves in my 20 gallon tank for 6 months now, and my Cory catfish been laying eggs every 2 to 3 months since then. Because I use Filter Cartridges, it took 2 months to get the water the nice light brown color... I replace the leaves about every month as they break down. I want my Cory tank to look like the one at Baltimore Aquarium, MD. My Neon tetras, Dwarf Gourami and aquatic plants love the set up too!

I was a little leery about getting them but my beta and the 3 tropical fish I have seem to be swimming around more. I’m happy and hope it keeps up.

My shrimp like these, but most of the leaves are broken to bits - very difficult to soak and place in the tank when the bits float to the top.

Came neatly packed in envelope. No broken leaves. For my cherry shrimp, mystery snails and rabbit snails. Good quality. Will definitely buy again and would recommend them.
