Catappa Leaves & Tea Bags – Natural Aquarium Conditioners (Loose & 12 Pack Tea Bags)

Catappa products, sourced from the Indian Almond Tree (Terminalia catappa), offer a natural and effective way to replicate the soft, tannin-rich environments ideal for Bettas, shrimp, snails, and other tropical or soft-water species. Available in both loose leaf and tea bag formats, they help recreate the acidic, leaf-littered conditions found in the wild.

When added to your aquarium, Catappa releases tannins and organic compounds that gently lower pH and create a calming amber tint in the water. As loose leaves break down, they also support the growth of beneficial micro-organisms—an excellent natural food source for shrimp, snails, and fry. The tea bag option provides the same benefits in a cleaner, pre-measured format for easy, mess-free use.

Key Features:

Natural water conditioning: Both loose leaves and tea bags release tannins and compounds that stabilise pH and tint water.
Supports aquatic health: Helps reduce stress and promotes a healthy, balanced tank environment.
Ideal for Bettas, shrimp, and fry: Replicates native habitats with acidic, leaf-litter-rich waters.
Encourages micro-life (loose leaves): Decaying leaves promote beneficial organisms that serve as natural food for invertebrates and young fish.
Convenient tea bags (12 pack): Mess-free option with consistent release—ideal for regular use and multiple tanks.

Whether you prefer traditional loose Catappa leaves or the ease of tea bags, both options provide natural, chemical-free water treatment that supports the well-being of your aquarium’s inhabitants.
