Seachem Catappa Leaves SM 12 Pack (8)

Product details

Seachem Catappa Leaves SM 12 Pack (8) are dried tropical almond (Terminalia catappa) leaves for aquariums. Use them as a natural water-conditioning option and habitat enhancer: as the leaves soften and decay, they release tannins and other organic compounds that can gently tint the water and support an environment commonly associated with leaf-litter biotopes. Catappa leaf surfaces can also become colonized by beneficial biofilm/micro-organisms, which can be used to help enrich the aquarium ecosystem for tank inhabitants such as bettas, shrimp, snails, and newly hatched fish.

Features:

• Leaf litter style décor that can create a more natural-looking setup
• Tannins and organic compounds may help create conditions associated with more acidic, tea-colored water
• Leaves tint the water gradually as they break down
• Provides additional natural surface area in the tank for beneficial biofilm to develop
• Useful for community aquariums where gentle, natural conditioning is desired
