10 separate leaves and the size was awesome. My fish love it!

Leaves were delivered intact in good condition and were about 7 to 7.5 inches long.The instructions recommend three leaves per 12 gallons (5 leaves if you boil them first) to be replaced weekly. I found that one leaf in a ten-gallon tank is more than enough to give the water the classic tea color, and I would be concerned that more than that could screw up the chemistry of the tank. I also believe that replacing the leaves weekly before they can form a nice layer of biofilm on them is counter-productive.I rinse the leaf without boiling and let it float on the surface of the tank. That will be enough to release the tannins and to color the water. It will sink in a day or so, and then nothing visible further happens for a couple of weeks other than providing a hiding place for small critters like cherry shrimp. Once the leaf starts to break down, snails, shrimp, baby shrimp, and some fish then start eagerly feasting on the biofilm and infusoria produced on it. After a leaf is well on its way to skeletonization, I add another to the tank so that there is always at least one coated with biofilm at any given time.Do the leaves act as an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent as often claimed? I don't know, but have no evidence that they don't. I do know that they provide a natural-looking hiding area for livestock in the tank and that a bunch of guys like to chomp on them once they have been in there awhile. The tank also looks more natural with the tinted water.

Leaves size is good but seems very thin. But price is right and seems working. So I will buy again.

These arrived intact and are indeed large! I got these for my nerite snails to munch on, and they have been loving them! This pack will last them a looooong time, but I would definitely repurchase and do recommend!

I can’t recommend this product because I’m returning it because the description and picture says it’s for axolotl‘s but the package says it’s for turtles, so I don’t know if it’s safe to use on my axolotl.
