Stir well, then remove the leaves and let them cool before adding them to the aquarium.

Nathan Cole :
I started using Catappa leaves for shrimps a few weeks ago, and the difference is clear cleaner water and happier shrimp. I also tossed in some Mulberry leaves for shrimps, and they’ve been munching on them nonstop. It’s nice seeing them so active in a more natural setup.
Alex Morgan :
Wasn’t sure what to expect, but adding Catappa barks for shrimps turned out to be a solid choice. My shrimp seem more comfortable, and the tank looks more alive. I’ve combined them with Catappa leaves and Mulberry leaves for shrimps, and the mix really brings the whole environment together.

Belly Pods

Belly pods, from the Aegle marmelos tree, are used in aquariums to release beneficial compounds, similar to Indian almond leaves. They are beneficial for fish such as bettas, angelfish, discus, and tetras, providing natural antibacterial properties and creating a healthy aquatic environment.

Indian Almond leaves

Indian almond leaves (catappa leaves) and jackfruit leaves are beneficial for betta fish in aquariums. Indian almond leaves release tannins with antibacterial and antifungal properties, helping to maintain water quality, lower pH levels naturally, and reduce stress. Jackfruit leaves also release tannins, conditioning water and creating a natural environment that supports betta fish health and well-being.
