I think these leaves are very helpful indeed. The problem ist quality. There are different qualities on the market, those that fight bacteria (this should be the case) and those that produce them. The lighter and drier they are the better. Use them at any rate dry.
I usually put one leave flatly on the backside glass of my small 10-liter-tanks; I should think it would be enough even in a tank double this size. But you must know that slowly the effect of killing bacteria may turn into the contrary when the leave ages. One should replace it at any rate after a quarter of a year at the latest. It slowly decays and will become foul and smeary; then out, at the latest, and a new on in. But they are really helpful if fresh and dry. They must be fixed by a piece of wood used in my manner.
There is no new filamentosus-species but a fish that was first called cf. filamentosus when we did not know anything about its origin. Now we know that it comes from the Kalimantan-region around the town Ampah north of Banjamarsin, south of Murateweh, and the fish are rightly called spec. Ampah. Whether they are a subspecies of filamentosus is quite unclear. The known locations of filamentosus are near to the south, however.
The fish have rather little colours; sometime they appear a bit “black and white”. But nevertheless they look attractive because of relatively big fins especially with the males.
