Dried Catappa Leaves (Terminalia catappa). Also known as Indian Almond Leaves, these are among the most widely used natural botanicals for aquariums and terrariums. In aquariums, Catappa leaves slowly release beneficial tannins and humic acids that help condition the water and support the health of fish and shrimp. In terrariums and paludariums, they serve as a durable, natural leaf-litter layer that supports humidity and shelter for small creatures.

Note: Naturally releases moderate tannins that slightly tint the water. Replace as needed for continuous conditioning.

Features:

• Promotes vitality and natural well-being of aquarium animals
  
• Releases humic acids with antibacterial and antifungal properties
  
• Provides cover and enrichment for shrimp and small fish
  
• Suitable for terrariums and paludariums
  
• Ideal for frogs, crabs, and insect enclosures

Usage:

Rinse or lightly blanch before use. In aquariums, add one or more leaves directly; they will sink within 24–48 hours and gradually decompose over 2–3 weeks. In terrariums, scatter as part of the leaf-litter layer to enhance humidity and offer hiding spots.
