Betta Catappa Leaf: Natural Water Conditioner for Healthy Betta Fish
Betta Catappa Leaf is a natural aquarium supplement designed to enhance water quality, reduce stress, and promote overall health in Betta fish. These dried leaves come from the Indian almond tree (Terminalia catappa) and are widely used by aquarists to mimic natural habitats and improve fish well-being.
Key Benefits:
-
Water Conditioning – Releases beneficial tannins that slightly tint the water, creating a more natural environment.
-
Stress Reduction – Helps Betta fish feel secure and encourages natural behaviours.
-
Supports Bubble Nesting – Stimulates Betta fish to build bubble nests, aiding in breeding.
-
Mild Antibacterial Properties – Can help prevent mild fungal and bacterial infections.
-
pH Regulation – Slightly lowers pH, making the water more suitable for Betta fish.
How to Use:
-
Rinse the leaf under clean water to remove any dust or debris.
-
Place one leaf in the aquarium per 5-10 gallons of water.
-
Allow the leaf to soak—it will gradually release tannins, turning the water a light brown shade.
-
Replace the leaf every 2-3 weeks or when it starts to break down.
Best for:
Betta Catappa Leaf is ideal for Betta fish, shrimp, and other freshwater species that thrive in slightly acidic, tannin-rich water.
