Large Indian Almond Leaves 12 Pack | XL Catappa Leaves for Shrimp, Betta & Freshwater Aquariums | 10-12 Inch Natural Tannin Leaves

Create a healthier, more natural aquarium environment with BK's Paws Large Indian Almond Leaves (Catappa Leaves). These premium extra-large leaves measure approximately 10 to 12 inches long and are carefully selected for freshwater shrimp, bettas, nano fish, and other tropical aquarium inhabitants.

As the leaves naturally break down, they release beneficial tannins into the water, helping recreate the soft, slightly acidic blackwater conditions found in nature. The leaves also provide biofilm and microorganisms that serve as an excellent natural food source for shrimp, while offering hiding places that reduce stress for fish and invertebrates.

Indian Almond Leaves have long been trusted by shrimp breeders and betta keepers for their natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, making them an essential addition to breeding tanks, planted aquariums, and shrimp colonies.
