Joseph Q. ★★★★★

Dropped a few of these into my blackwater tank and within days the water tinted that perfect tea color. The silver sheen on top catches the light nicely too. 100 leaves goes a long way for the price.

Mia ★★★★★

The golden underside really pops against the dark substrate in my tank, and the silver top adds a subtle shimmer that makes the whole setup look more natural. Each leaf feels sturdy enough to hold its shape underwater without crumbling right away.

Evelyn ★★★★☆

Silver side shows nicely against the dark substrate, and the golden undersides really pop once they sink. Took a couple of days to waterlog fully, but they held their shape without getting mushy. Wish the pack had a few more larger leaves for my bigger tank, but the count is fair for the price.
