Betta Fish Indian Almond Leaves – Natural Water Conditioner & Tank Treatment
Organic Catappa leaves provide all-natural benefits to your freshwater aquarium. Rich in tannins and humic acids, they help maintain the right pH level and add beneficial minerals to the water.
These leaves serve as a dietary supplement for fish, who may nibble on them. They also form natural shelters where fish can rest and provide ideal nesting sites for eggs.
Perfect for soft water or blackwater species such as Bettas, Corydoras, Plecos, and shrimp. The tannins released into the water offer antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, and algaecidal properties, helping to prevent and treat infections and parasites.

My Betta has been using the Indian almond leaves for two weeks now. The water looks darker and the fish seems more active. I noticed fewer algae spots and the fish is less stressed. Great for creating a natural environment.
Rachel Piper –
The leaves broke down slowly and provided a nice hiding place for my Betta. I didn’t see any fish disease signs, and the water pH stabilized after a few days. A simple but effective addition.
Trevor Hill –
I added the leaves to my 10-gallon tank with Corydoras and shrimp. The fish use them to hide and lay eggs. The water quality improved, and I’ve seen less algae growth. Highly recommend.

The leaves are real and work as expected, but they need to be replaced every few weeks. Some fish don’t eat them, but they still help with water balance.
