Betta Catappa Leaves (3 Pack)

Catappa Leaves, also known as Indian Almond Leaves, are a natural aquarium additive commonly used in betta and shrimp tanks. These leaves release beneficial tannins into the water, helping create a more natural environment while supporting fish health.

As the leaves break down, they gradually tint the water a light amber colour and provide surfaces for shrimp and fry to graze on. They are widely used in breeding setups, stress reduction, and for maintaining stable water conditions.
