Seachem Catappa Leaves - Small - 12 Pack Small Leaves - 10-12cm Catappa leaves, sourced from Indian Almond Trees (Terminalia catappa), are excellent for replicating natural environ ments for Bettas, shrimp, and other aquarium inhabitants. When introduced to an aquarium, these leaves release tannins and other organic compounds that help lower the pH and subtly tint the water. This creates conditions similar to those found in habitats with acidic water and abundant leaf litter. As the catappa leaves decompose, they foster the growth of beneficial microorganisms on their surface, providing a natural food source for shrimp, snails, and newly-hatched fish. Show more
