Paul Russell –
My Betta fish has been much more active since I started using the Catappa tea bags. The water turns a soft yellow, which looks natural and the pH has stabilized. My shrimp seem calm and happy too. Great product for creating a more natural tank environment.
Jake Hamilton –
I used these in a 10-gallon tank with shrimp and a few Betta fish. The water color changed nicely and the pH dropped slightly, which I liked. I don’t need to add more tannins, so it’s a simple and effective solution.
William Burgess –
The tea bags are easy to use and dissolve well in water. My tank now has a more natural look and feel. The shrimp are thriving, and the water clarity is better than before. I’d recommend this to any aquarist looking for natural water conditions.
