Indian Almond Leaves – Catappa Leaves (10 Pack)

Indian Almond Leaves are a natural and versatile addition to freshwater aquariums, widely used by shrimp and fish keepers to promote health, breeding, and water quality. Packed with natural tannins, flavonoids, and trace elements, these leaves help create a stable and stress-free environment for your aquatic livestock.

• Natural Decoration – Adds a warm, tea-colored hue to the aquarium, enhancing aesthetics

How to Use:
