No kidding about the ebay deals. I ordered a bunch, we will see what they look like when they get here in a few weeks.
@ could still use about 10 to get started on black water extract project in the meantime if anyone wants to sell some. @
Thanks for the Mykiss tip, I was waitng for a pm from him, its so darn far from Poco to Steveston though.

You can boil them to make black water.... Also They'll get here fast!

I just got mine off ebay, they're huge. It took two weeks to ship from Malaysia, just as a FYI.

Any suggestions for blackwater recipes?

Any help would be great

It's pretty much 1 leaf per 10 gallons.
I've never made instant blackwater so I can't give suggestions on that.

you're pushing it at one large leaf for 10 gallons...
For true blackwater it's more like 1 leaf for 1 to 2 gallons....
If you boil the leaves you can make your own extract which you can make as concentraded as you want....
The leaves take about 3 days to water log and tan the water.... that's probably plenty of time for the fish to adjust since it's a slow process over three days...
