Note:

Leaf rectangle will normally float for 2-3 days before sinking. Dosages are a guide only and Aquarists can tailor them based on aesthetics and water colouration. As a result, the leaves will cause water to turn clean amber (weak tea) in colour due to tannins which are natural and healthy for fish.
