Catappa leaves, sourced from Indian Almond Trees (Terminalia catappa), are a natural and effective way to replicate the native environments of bettas, shrimp, and other aquarium inhabitants. These leaves provide both aesthetic and functional benefits for aquariums by releasing beneficial compounds and creating conditions similar to acidic water habitats rich in leaf litter.
Key Benefits:
Natural tannins release: Catappa leaves release tannins and organic compounds that help to lower pH and gently tint the water, mimicking natural blackwater conditions.
Encourages healthy ecosystems: As the leaves decay, they promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms, providing a natural food source for shrimp, snails, and fry (newly-hatched fish).
Habitat replication: Creates an environment similar to those with abundant leaf litter, promoting comfort and well-being for aquarium inhabitants.
Ideal For:
Bettas
Shrimp
Snails
Newly-hatched fish
Catappa leaves are an excellent addition to aquariums, enhancing both the water quality and the overall health of aquatic life.
