You said you use oak leaves for the egg and tad water for a brownish water from the tannins. Is it the tannins that are important here, and if so, do you know of a substitute for oak leaves or a source for them? (No oaks grow anywhere in this part of the country.) Would something like Instant Amazon, Blackwater extract or Black Water Expert work?

hi,
if i remember oak leaves is somewhat like the blackwater extract stuff is. i'm pretty sure it does the same thing if my memory serves me correct.

Yeah, I'd say blackwater extract would be about the same thing.One thing about leaves is I have in some of my containers 3-6 tads in a small area and they can get hide from each other.They don't seem canniblistic either,like I have read auratus can be and they seem to graze on the leaves some.Good luck..............Mark W.
