is this ok and good for the fancy guppies and fry guppies? thanks

NO! Don't do it, I thought I'd try some for my guppies too, thinking about the healing properties it has for bettas & betta fry. But instead I lost about 100 guppy fry and around 20 of my adults! After, (should have done this prior !!) I Googled it & found that there is something in the leaves that poison them. I just use tap water that's been sitting out for a few days, same room temp. NO Catappa leaves.

A couple of leaves in my 5.5-gal tank crashed the pH from 6.8 to 6.3 in less than 12 hours. How can I use leaves without pH crashes?

Hello, Decreasing pH is one of the benefits offered by SunGrow leaves. If you don't want to decrease it, I would recommend using less number of leaves,Some experts recommend boiling the leaves to decrease the effect of tannins. You can try that and see if it works for your tank.

I have a 10 gallon aquarium with top fin silenstream filter. How many leaves to drop in for 1 smaller goldfish ?

You could drop in a handful. There’s really no limit since the worst that really happens is the water gets very yellow. Though with even a small goldfish in this size tank you’ll likely be changing it out a lot since goldfish need a much bigger space since they produce a lot of waste and grow quite quickly.

large or small indian almond leaves

Depends on the size of your tank. I would by the large if your tank is over 12 gallons. These leaves are great. You can also break the larger ones as well. Hope this helps. :)

Pratique et bon rapport qualité prix

Avertissement préalable : je ne suis pas botaniste et je ne suis pas en mesure de garantir que c'est bien de la catappa. Ceci dit, je n'a aucune raison de douter du contraire. Pour ma part j'apprécie ce produit car il permet d'obtenir tous les avantages de la catappa dans un format pratique et à un bon rapport qualité prix. Les feuilles sont correctes et bien emballées (voir photo). Dans l'eau, les feuilles sont "dures" et se dégradent très lentement. Dans 60l j'ai créé un petite "litière" de feuille, dans un coin (8 feuilles). La coloration est légère. Les occupants ont l'air détendus (impression ?) et ça fait un terrain de jeu pour les crevettes. Je le conseillerais pour "recharger" un petit bac, ou créer une petite litière de feuille dans un bac plus grand, le tout à petit prix. Avantage de la catappa : - a un certain effet "médical" sur les poissons : antistress, antifongique - donne une couleur ambrée et naturelle à l'eau - aide à acidifier l'eau grâce au tanin - offre un environnement adapté aux crustacés et à la micro faune - libère des nutriments utiles aux plantes Avertissement sur la catappa : c'est une plante qui contient naturellement des substances actives et doit être considérée comme un médicament. Il faut donc rester dans une consommation raisonnable et ne pas bourrer un bac avec. Dans le cas d'une litière, vous pouvez mélanger avec d'autres feuilles adaptées. Il faut également respecter les usages d'entretien normaux avec des changements d'eau réguliers (20%/semaine). Rappelons que la plupart des poissons vendus dans le commerce sont des poissons de rivière où l'eau se renouvelle constamment. Ils ne sont donc pas faits pour subir une sur concentration x ou y. Vérifiez les espèces que vous maintenez pour leur apporter un environnement adapté. Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à vous rapprocher d'un forum spécialisé Et si mon commentaire vous a aidé, merci de cliquer sur "utile", ça fait toujours plaisir :)
