Magnolia Leaves
Indian almond leaves, tea leaves, and magnolia leaves have some extraordinary conditioning properties for the freshwater aquarium. Placement of a couple of these leaves in an aquarium will slowly lower the Ph and soften the water as each Magnolia leaf biodegrades. As the leaves degrade, tannins and flavonoids are released which have healing properties against fish disease.
The introduction of natural dried leaves will slowly move tap based aquarium water to the conditions of water found in South America and Southeast Asia biotopes. Fish that benefit from magnolia leaves and Indian almond leaves include bettas, rasboras, platies, angelfish, discus, corys, and many many more. Each order of AquariumFish.com magnolia leaves comes with ten clean, natural dried leaves.

I added five magnolia leaves to my betta tank and noticed a gradual drop in pH after a week. My fish seem more active and less prone to illness. The leaves broke down slowly and didn’t cause any issues. Good quality and easy to use.

Used these with Indian almond leaves in my corydoras tank. The water turned slightly brown, which is expected. My fish appear healthier, and the water feels softer. Would recommend for tropical setups.

The leaves arrived fresh and dry. After placing them in my angelfish tank, I saw a noticeable improvement in water stability. No fish showed signs of stress. Great product for natural water conditioning.
