I added Catappa Leaves to my blackwater tank for my betta and snails. The water turned a soft brown color, which is exactly what I wanted. My fish seem more active and the snails are thriving. Great for creating a natural environment.

The leaves arrived fresh and smelled natural. After a week, the water had a mild tannin tint. My shrimp are more active now, and I noticed better water stability. A small investment for big benefits.

Used these in a community tank with tetras and frogs. The pH stabilized after a few days. The leaves slowly decomposed and provided a consistent environment. No fish showed signs of stress.

The leaves were organic and looked good, but they broke down faster than expected. Not sure if they’re ideal for high-flow tanks. Might need more frequent replacement.
