I just got a sweet deal on some almond leaves from a guy I know on ebay to throw in my standard 100g, and I have a quick question or two.

1) Do they cause a noticeable drop in ph? My ph is a flat 7 and I do not wish it to go below 6.

2) My stock is as follows, will any fish be affected by them? I've done research and it points to no, but it's always better to have some experience behind the research.
6 roselines
8 dwarf rainbows
bn pleco and hifin pleco
6 corys
sa bumblebee
mature koi angel
2 clown loaches

3) Because I am using these for scaping reasons and not so much the health issues, are 20 leaves enough? Too many? I've read 20 is perfect but again, first-hand experience is always appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!
