• Overview Review FAQ (6)
• Seachem Catappa Leaves are a premium natural product for freshwater aquariums. These Indian almond leaves (Terminalia catappa) gradually release valuable tannins and humic substances into the water, helping to replicate the natural blackwater conditions favored by many tropical fish and shrimp. Seachem Catappa Leaves help reduce stress, support slime coat development, boost immune function, and offer mild antibacterial effects. Especially recommended for bettas, shrimp, discus, and other blackwater species.

  Application Seachem Catappa Leaves
  Add 1-2 leaves per 20 liters (5 US gallons). Remove and replace every month or as desired. Catappa leaves may float initially but will sink after 2 - 3 days. To make an extract, boil three grams (approx. two-and-a-half leaves) in 1 liter (1 US quart) of water for ten minutes or until desired color is attained. Let extract cool to aquarium temperature and pour directly into the tank or mix with prepared water for water changes. When first using extract, add gradually over a 2 to 3 days and monitor to ensure pH stays within suitable range for tank inhabitants. Chemical filtration media such as activated carbon can remove compounds provided by Catappa leaves.

• How do I use Seachem Catappa Leaves in my aquarium?

  Use 1-2 leaves per 20 liters (5 gallons) of water. Simply place them directly into the tank. They usually sink within a short time. Replace every 2-3 weeks or when visibly decomposed.

  What are the effects of Catappa leaves in aquariums?

  They release tannins and humic substances that naturally lower pH slightly, reduce stress, support slime coat formation, and offer mild antibacterial benefits.

  Will Catappa leaves discolor the water?

  Yes, they create a light amber or tea-like tint in the water, which is natural and beneficial for many tropical fish. It replicates blackwater habitats.

  Are Catappa Leaves suitable for shrimp?

  Definitely! Shrimp love them — for shelter, foraging (biofilm), and the overall improved water quality.

  How long do the leaves remain effective?

  Typically for 2-3 weeks. After that, they should be removed and replaced if needed.

  What sizes are Seachem Catappa Leaves available in?

  They come in two sizes: Small (approx. 10-12 cm) and Medium (approx. 16-17 cm). Choose the appropriate size based on your tank size and inhabitants.
