Thank you buildyouraquarium.com for providing us the facts about the Indian Almond leaves or we call it Talisay leaves.
Why they are antibacterial and antifungal properties? When it comes to treating fish illnesses, most common illnesses are weaker bacterial or fungal infections, such as fin rot.
Why it can lower down the pH levels of the water inside the aquarium? While frequently messing with your pH is not recommended, there are safe ways to lower or raise your pH level. However, you should not attempt to do this without a basic chemical understanding of pH and how it can affect your tank’s inhabitants.
And why it can induce breeding and spawning? Indian Almond leaves can lower the water to around a pH of 5, if the water was soft with little to no carbonate hardness. If the water is moderately hard, it will likely only bring the pH down to around 6. No matter the hardness, Indian Almond leave have an excessive amount of tannins, so your water will be dyed a dark brown quickly. These conditions will help induce spawning in finicky species.
