Tannins are generally beneficial to fish, I believe they have anti bacterial properties, also fish prefer the dim lighting that you get by default, it has the potential to lower Ph but you would need a lot, still personally I would not leave it to get to that stage, fish do not like swings in Ph, if...

This afternoon was nice enough to catch up in the garden despite the wind, at least it had stopped raining, Made a start on the pond, removed some debris from the water and dead sticks from the plants, Went through all the pots, any showing life signs were put back in, some needed re potting or more...
