Category: Aquarium Water Treatment

Catappa leaves coming from Indian Almond Trees(Terminalia catappa) help to replicate natural environments for Bettas, shrimp and other aquarium inhabitants. When added to an aquarium, they release tannins and other organic compounds which aid in maintaining lower pH and gently tinting water. These conditions mimic habitats with acidic water and abundant leaf litter. As catappa leaves decay, beneficial micro-organisms grow on the leaf surface, creating a natural source of food for shrimp, snails, and newly-hatched fish.

Matthew ★★★★★

My shrimp started breeding within a week of adding these leaves, and the tannins give the water a beautiful amber tint. They soften the water just enough to keep my betta's fins stress-free without clouding the tank.

James L. ★★★★★

My betta’s tank finally looks like the shaded, slow-moving puddles he’d naturally call home—the water’s taken on that soft amber tint and he’s way more active since I dropped in a couple leaves. They sink on their own after a day, which is handy since I’m lazy about weighing things down.

Scarlett ★★★★☆

These leaves aren't huge, but one large leaf in my five-gallon tank tints the water a nice light tea color within a day. My shrimp seem more active and are grazing on them which is cool. I do wish they sank immediately without having to boil them first, though.
