I'm not sure there's any thing different with them than peat moss.
No one to date has offered me nor shown any differences between them.
Tannins are tannins near as I or others can tell.
It was garlic in the past, then Aloe, now this, peat before that.
There's never been a study on the leaves near as anyone can tell either.
It's a common plant in the Tropics.
You'd be wiser to focus on good food and good water changes etc

I would imagine it takes a few decades for an almond tree to grow a sufficient size to where it's leaves could be harvested. I'm pretty sceptical about it's benefits anyway.
There is plenty of info online about these.
Some considerations:
1. These are tropical trees. Unless you live in the South, forget it.
2. It would take several years for them to get old enough so that you can collect leaves from them. If you buy a young tree instead of seeds, you can cut that time down.
3. They get huge! Do you have the space?
They are considered invasive in Florida, but gardening centers do sell them, so I guess they are not illegal.

I still think folks will do much better doing basic things to care for their fish like good water changes/good foods.
I recall one guy addign caffine to the water to act like the coffee trees near one location in the wilds.........
Yes, there is plenty on line about it, all anecdotal.
Where is a base line to compre them too?
What consititutes improved fish health???
My fish are healthy enough as it is.
But then again I take good care of them.
New fish are well acclimated, all basic stuff.
But this is a plant forum, the question is are they better for plants, I'd have to say based on everything I've read and seen to date, no.
Do they hurt? Probably not.
Do they work? Likely the same answer, but I might be wrong.........but I doubt it.
