Which Leaves Produce The Most Tannins | (Science Experiment) - MR BRIGHTFRYED

I often recieve many questions about the imacts of leaves in our aquariums and which leaves produce the most tannins and there for are the best leaves to use in a fish tank? Well today I decided to do a little science experement on this exact topic using Oak, Magnolia, Black Pepper, Jackfruit and Indian Almond (Catappa) Leaves to answer once and for all what leaf produces the most tannins and there for the best to use in our aquariums.

Enjoy!

I love botanicals in my shrimp tank, some of the seed pods look amazing too

[FishRfun]

Great video...I just boiled some catappa leaves for about 15 minutes and it didn't stain the water in my tank. On the other hand, I had to boil the alder cones like 20 times to get all the brown out and not stain my water

“You stay safe.”? Is that a veiled threat? Safe from what/whom?

[EverydayAquarist]

I guess thats why we use catappa leaves! Great experiment

[thekilleroffish]

Great experiment. I have never used catapa leaves, but I have used magnolia, and I do see the slight color change in the tank. I wondered how it compared to catapa and oak leaves. I'm also curious how it compares to birch and beech tree leaves. Thanks for sharing.
Question - have you found any information about the benefits of using the magnolia leaf in aquariums? There is so much information on catapa leaves but I'm not finding much... if any ...on magnolia leaves except that they are safe to use.

Great video thanks. It seems a lot of people don't worry about the boiling part at all, perhaps just steaming them would be better? So it kills any possible bugs but you don't lose a lot of the tannins - which afterall is what most of us want

[ColdwaterTanks]

Very interesting video. Been thinking of adding some leaves to my new paludarium. Will for sure give it a try now. Thanks for sharing!

Useful video 👍 And nice to hear an English accent not an annoying American one 🤣

[SifiFan]

This was a very nice and timely test. I've been struggling on why almond leaves are favored.

[jpaquarios]

Very good experiment video. So catapa leaves are the best. Ths

[DanielKeepingFish]

Great idea. Very good experiment and nice information. Love it.

[DashDrones]

Thank you for doing this. Not a fan of tannins in my main tank as it's hard to grow plants in the tea coloured water. Cannot wait for my jackfruit leaves to arrive 👍

[sheyalovely]

Hey, have you triwd teak leaves? The color is darker than catappa leaves. I hv searched in Google, it gives very positive feedback!

[angella]

wow thankyou so much for your video..

[AQUAGUYUK]

I use tea leaves for the dark water effect with mopani wood

[frankcastle]

Doesn’t boiling kill the bad stuff off ? I have a lot off tannins bottled up to add if needed. It’s from maple and oak leaves and a couple of itchy balls. lol

[AquariumsandTerrariums]

I needed this video XD thank you brother.

[videogabeofficial]

Your test is showing color of the water, not tannin level?

[GregorMima]

Anyone tried laurel leaves in tanks for shrimps? Just wondering, since i have a ton around (from cooking) and they are save for humans ... Any ideas?

[donaldlyons]

I would have thought boiling water would destroy any microbes either way? Maybe pollution is still on the leaf but the leaf might have released all its tannins by that point.
