I am not certain on dandelion tea for it, but i know other simple black teas you can absolutely add that to the tank for that nice tannin tint. Catappa leaves are AWESOME! I’d recommend more with the catappa leaves just because i know more about it, but the price for both will be nearly the same, sometimes cheaper for the catappa 🙂

I’d recommend that you get some like betta tea from betta botanicals.

Pure rooibos tea is a great choice for tannins, it’s got a lovely red hue that you won’t find in black teas. Also it’s naturally caffeine free, which is an issue with other teas. It’s supposedly got good antifungal and antibacterial properties too, but that’s open to debate. Just be sure that it is 100% rooibos.

Alder cones are great too and pretty common to pickup around parks etc.
