Catappa Leaves M X15

Catappa Leaves (Indian Almond Leaves)

Catappa leaves are a natural aquarium additive valued for their ability to improve water quality and promote fish health. When added to tanks, they slowly release beneficial tannins that lower pH, create a mild blackwater effect, and provide antibacterial and antifungal properties. These leaves are especially popular in betta, shrimp, and soft-water community aquariums, offering both a natural hiding spot and a food source as they decompose.

Care & Preparation Instructions:

• Rinse thoroughly before use

• Soak prior to adding if you wish to reduce initial tannin release

• May float initially; pre-soaking will help them sink

• Replace once fully broken down

Benefits:

• Creates a more natural, biotope-style aquarium

• Supports shrimp health and natural grazing behaviour

• Offers protective cover for small or shy species

• Enhances the visual depth and structure of your layout
