Depending on your alkalinity however, their effects won't last very long and the pH will raise back up.. These shifts in pH could end up causing more stress than benefit in the long run, and make it more difficult to do large frequent water changes due to parameter shifts..
I would say they are best used for inducing spawning in soft-water fish, and acclimating soft-water fish to harder waters.
LoTech;489122; said:The leaves are great for spawning. I would recommend frequent small water changes rather than infrequent massive ones, but I have never had a problem with these leaves.
They also make the fish look really awesome.
your leaves will come all the way from singapore?meiling;489419;489419 said:OK, 500 more are on the way from Singapore.![]()
I found a supplier who focuses on quality, they're carefully handled and cured, I like her leaves, better than the others I've had. Shipping is a big ouch, so I tried to get as many at once.....so I'll have more soon.batang_mcdo;489568; said:your leaves will come all the way from singapore?

you're on the east side, what can she (Meiling) do to better keep water for Arowanas?
She starts at 8.4PH, don't know her KH though...
