Does anybody know if it's true, that Almond Leaves help in breeding fish?.

They are basically supposedly the same as using peat. They both release tannins, lower ph and soften water. So if you are trying to breed cardinal tetras or another fish that breeds in soft water, it would possibly work.

Thanks alot clownloachfan. I was going to use them in my Corydoras breeding project, but wanted to be sure about their use.
