Method of use:
In Europe, dried almond leaves have been something of a professional secret among aquarium keepers up until now, though some European breeders have been using them successfully for some time. The fact that banana leaves are not so very well known may also be due to the leaves not being widely available.
Some time ago, the leaves became the subject of discussion among aquarium keepers here at home who were using the leaves of almond bushes growing in Europe. They were successful, but the level of success was low.
Recommend to use 3-4 leaves size 6" or 15 cm.per 50 L of water suits or medium size fish tank.
If your leaf is smaller or bigger, you need to adjust the figures accordingly.
We mainly tear the leaves into small pieces to purify the water faster.

Using 2 leaves per 50 L (13 gallons) of water is recommended but be prepared to adjust the dosage to suit your particular fish.
Some Betta keepers routinely use 2 leaves per 15 L (4 gallons) of water in their everyday tanks.
Betta breeders normally use 1 leaf per 20 L (5 gallons) of water in breeding tanks.
In fry rearing tanks, using 1 leaf per 40 L (10 gallons) of water is recommended.
Leaves will normally float for 2-3 days before sinking. The leaves should be replaced 2-4 weeks or when leaves start to break up. Dosages are a guide only and Aquarists can tailor it based on aesthetics and water coloration. The leaves will cause water to turn a clean amber in color due to tannins which is natural and healthy for fishes.
