Aquarium Almond Leaves for Bettas, Shrimp and Soft-Water Fish, 5-Leaf Pack for Natural Blackwater Habitats
Give Bettas, shrimp and other soft-water aquarium residents a more natural environment using almond leaves that gradually release tannins and humic acid. This pack of five Catappa leaves supports a blackwater setting similar to the habitats familiar to these species.
As the leaves break down, they become a natural food source for freshwater shrimp and encourage beneficial biofilm growth. Their slow change also adds environmental enrichment, making them a practical choice for shrimp tanks, Betta aquariums and biotope systems.
Key Features
- Released tannins and humic acid lower the water's pH while creating a blackwater environment, giving soft-water species such as Bettas, discus, tetras and shrimp habitat conditions that more closely resemble their natural surroundings.
- The tannins have anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, offering natural support for a healthier aquarium environment without relying on chemical treatments.
- Tannins can encourage brighter coloration in fish and shrimp, helping aquarium keepers bring out the animals' natural appearance.
- Catappa leaves encourage natural spawning behavior and support bubble-nest creation in Betta tanks, making them a useful habitat addition for breeding setups.
- The leaves slowly break down into a natural food source for freshwater shrimp while supporting beneficial biofilm growth, adding both nutrition and enrichment to their daily habitat.
