Catappa Leaves

Catappa Leaves as they are commonly known act as a natural water conditioner to create a close to nature bio-tope for your aquarium dwellers. Packed with natural ingredients the Indian Almond Leaves have positive properties for aquarium inhabitants, promoting well-being, vitality and spawning readiness. The tanning agents also boost mucous production aiding in disease prevention.

Once added the Catappa Leaves will sink to the base of the aquarium after around 1-2 days. After 1-3 weeks the active substances contained in the leaves will have been completely released. At this point the older leaves can be replaced with new or alternatively they can be left in the aquarium as additional feed for catfish and shrimps.

The Betta Choice Natural Botanical range boasts an array of natural flora and fauna including leaves, seed pods and bark, ideal for the enrichment of aquariums. These offerings not only help create an authentic biotope environment but also stimulate the innate behaviours of the aquarium inhabitants, enabling them to forage, seek refuge, and engage with their surroundings just as they would in their natural habitats. The addition of Botanicals to an aquarium not only adds to the natural aesthetic but also acts as a natural water conditioner, supplementing the health and well-being of the aquarium and its inhabitants.
