Ella ★★★★★

I tossed a handful into my blackwater tank and the tannins started staining the water within a day. The jumbo leaves are big enough that my betta actually rests on them instead of the substrate. Great variety of shapes for the price.

Lucy R. ★★★★★

The mix of leaf shapes and sizes really transforms the tank into a natural forest floor feel. I soaked them for a day and they sank quickly without turning the water too dark.

Victoria ★★★★★

These leaves are surprisingly sturdy — they sank within a day and didn't fall apart even after a week in my tank. The variety of shapes from Borneo gives the bottom a really natural, forest-floor look that my shrimp are loving.
