Re: oak leaves?
better luck next time.
They look like oak leaves to me. You just need to give them a good rinse off under the tap before putting them in. They should also release some tannins into your tank.

Re: oak leaves?
Can I ask you guys here then, is there a correct rule of thumb for adding such leaves? As heard of ph drops,is it dangerous to add too many?

Re: oak leaves?
it will drop the ph a little but aslong as you only add a few at a time it will be fine

Re: oak leaves?
i now only use oak leaves for my fish - gave up buying indian almond leaves
If you collect lots just leave them to dry in a warm room - keeping them seperated after washing and then just store them on a bag as you would the IAL

Re: oak leaves?
Cool I'll get some oak leaves next time, I just ordered Indian Almond Leaves on ebay but they will take 2-3 weeks to get here X__X I don't think I'll end up being able to wait that long, got the breeding tank set up, brine shrimp hatchery and only need a few more days of conditioning
