Fritz Catappa Teabags 10PK

Product details

Fritz Catappa Teabags 10PK (11121) are tea-bag style whole-leaf catappa (Terminalia catappa) that you add directly to an aquarium filter for a simple, mess-free way to introduce natural tannins. In the hobby, catappa leaf tannins are used to support a blackwater-style setup and to help create more natural conditions for many freshwater fish and invertebrates that benefit from softer, lower-pH water. Because the leaves are supplied in small filter-ready bags, they’re convenient for routine use without loose leaf debris.

Features:

• Whole catappa leaves in a tea-bag format help deliver tannins in a controlled, easy-to-handle form
• Mess-free application: place the bag in a filter instead of dealing with loose leaf pieces
• Tannins have been widely used in aquariums for anti-fungal and anti-bacterial support, including helping reduce risk for infections in fish and fish eggs
• Catappa tannins can help slow or reduce algae growth in some systems
• Blackwater biotope use: adds shelter and natural-style cover for fish, shrimp, and fry
• Invertebrate and breeding support: can increase hiding opportunities and is commonly used to encourage spawning behavior
• Often used in hobby setups to help manage pest snail populations and some crustacean numbers
