SunGrow Catappa Indian Almond Leaves, 8-Inches, for Features
-
Give a no-stress home to your betta --- When fish are given their native ambiance, they tend to grow stronger and heartier. By balancing the pH level, our leaves provide ideal water conditions. The Indian Almond leaves are considered to have beneficial properties and increase fish appetite making them happy.
-
Have a breeding pet? Add catappa --- The tropical fishes create bubble nests using a floating leaf or a plant to anchor their bubbles. So if your tank has any one of the breeding tropical fish like tetra, guppy, platies, molly, cichlids, just add these leaves and see them anchoring their eggs over IAL. That is a sight to behold. In ancient times, the Ketapang leaves were used in folk medicine for indigestion.
-
Benefits other fish and snails too --- The tea water has many advantages for fishes like tetra, discus, and goldfish. It is good for rasporas and many dwarf cichlids too. Apart from that, snail owners can benefit from the magical leaves. Giving your fish such an ambiance calms them down and aids in overall development. It helps in imparting color to them and makes their scales firmer.
-
Shrimps, fishes and snails love them --- Depending on your tank size and the pH level needed, drop a few leaves into your tank (If you want to be exact about the pH level, you can use a pH tester or a drop checker). Over the next few days, the leaves will slowly submerge to the bottom.
-
Adds beauty to nano tanks, small bowls and jars --- The Catappa leaves from SunGrow are unprocessed so you know what goes into your tank. They look pretty in a nano tank and add aesthetic beauty to your planted tank. You may even add these in individual betta jars or bowls.
About SunGrow Catappa Indian Almond Leaves, 8-Inches, For
Natural is best and nothing is more pure and natural than SunGrow Catappa Leaves. These organic, hand-picked leaves are the perfect addition to your aquarium. They may not be on the top of your shopping list now, but they are about to be. Catappa Leaves are actually one of the most hardworking vegetation in your tank, providing a whole slew of benefits for fishes, shrimps, frogs and even snails. Catappa Leaves are rich in tannin and humic acids that are the right pH level for soft water and blackwater fishes. It creates the right environment for sick fishes to heal and for healthy fishes to thrive and breed. When soft, the leaves also provide a diet supplement and snails, shrimp and fishes have been known to occasionally take a nibble on these leaves to keep themselves healthy. The leaves also form makeshift shelters for fishes to sleep under and are great nests for their eggs to latch onto. You'll be sent 10 giant leaves in one pack. Simply drop them in the tank. After a few days, you'll notice your tank water browning. This is natural as tannins are being released into the water. Your tank water now has the right amount of nutrients and healing properties your fishes need. Remove the leaves when you see them disintegrating. Always rinse before use, even after boiling or soaking. By the way, a "post-boil soak" in fresh water with a bag of activated carbon is a recommended step too. Although we obtain our products from sources known to be free of pollution, impurities, and pesticides, you can never be too careful, and the extra step is worthwhile, in our opinion.
