Indian almond leaves, huh? What Indian? Oh. it is a leaves that are commonly found in Southeast Asia country. So much so that it is trampled, trashed and unwanted.
Benefits of Indian Almond Leaves to aquarium:
"Like driftwoods and peat, they release heavy amounts of tannic acids. You may not like the looks of yellow water but your fish will naturally benefit from its use. The tannic acids will considerably lower the pH level depending on the hardness levels. Allow one large leaf of 8-10 inches per 10 gallons although I admittedly do not follow what is often recommended as I really like the idea of having a leaf litter in my aquaria no matter the size. Removal of tannic acids is done by either use of activated carbon or doing plenty of water changes."

But in the west, US or Europe, these kind of leaves are much sought after and sold in pack.
Next time, before you trample it, value it and take a good look at it, you are stepping on $$$. Lolx.
