SunGrow Betta Fin Rot Medicinal Leaves, Aquarium Water Conditioner, Dried Indian Almond Leaves for Fish Tank, Create Blackwater Environment, Lower pH, Reduce Stress)

I bought this as I wanted to add leaf litter to my aquarium, I added 5 or 6 leaves once a month with no issues, these are quite small maybe no bigger then 2 50pence coins put together, but they did exactly what I wanted them to, I believe they are good value for money and they didn't change the colour of my water.

Leaves I put in all my tanks but do I want more no this is an expensive free item from nature but I believe it helps Will look for some in my own area

You can’t really measure how effective these are. You certainly get a lot for your money. It says they will sink in a couple of days and a couple sank straight away. Add a bit to the look.

I have a number of aquariums, mainly nanos each housing a male betta so l always struggle with the larger catappa leaves having to break them up and making a mess. These are a perfect size for my aquariums, 2 or 3 added to each and proportionally the correct size. They soften and sink quickly and within a day or 2 you can see a slight browning as the tannins are released into the water. The Amano and cherry shrimp love then too, immediately crawling on and under them as they sank. Delivery was quick, ordered and delivered in a matter of days. They came well packaged, unbroken (a feat in itself with dry leaves) and looks a lot more than the 50 requested. lf you need small catappa leaves then get these! Don't be put off by comments of 'they look nothing like the picture', they wouldn't as these are fresh! As it says on the pack, picked and sun dried.

Got a female betta from a not so great pet shop, got her because she was being bullied and her fins were in a sad state. Used these and her fins are amazing now!

Nice little leaves. I gave them a quick wash before putting 5 of them in my tank...a noobie error. Make sure to boil them or something before adding, got loads of snails in my tank now could only have come from the leaves.

I can't talk about its other benefits as haven't added fish yet but my pH was around 8.2-8.4 and within a day of adding 1 mini leaf to 45L tank pH has dropped dramatically to 7.6 (which is amazing considering pH is logarithmic!) - though you do have to put up with noticeable tea tint (which is annoying for humans aesthetically but better for fish as mimics their naturally more murky waters) *Just to say I have really soft water which is probably why the effect is so pronounced and would in the future only add half a leaf for my tank as don't want pH to rise too much if I forget to put a leaf in etc. **If you have shrimp I would leave the leaves in until they disintegrate which shrimp will aid

Hello absolutely loves them, as soon as I put them in the tank he went straight to them and hasn't left! Great product. I didn't really get for medical reasons I got as they use these in the wild for resting I believe and the help with pH so thought I would give them a try!

Avertissement préalable : je ne suis pas botaniste et je ne suis pas en mesure de garantir que c'est bien de la catappa. Ceci dit, je n'a aucune raison de douter du contraire. Pour ma part j'apprécie ce produit car il permet d'obtenir tous les avantages de la catappa dans un format pratique et à un bon rapport qualité prix. Les feuilles sont correctes et bien emballées (voir photo). Dans l'eau, les feuilles sont "dures" et se dégradent très lentement. Dans 60l j'ai créé un petite "litière" de feuille, dans un coin (8 feuilles). La coloration est légère. Les occupants ont l'air détendus (impression ?) et ça fait un terrain de jeu pour les crevettes. Je le conseillerais pour "recharger" un petit bac, ou créer une petite litière de feuille dans un bac plus grand, le tout à petit prix. Avantage de la catappa : - a un certain effet "médical" sur les poissons : antistress, antifongique - donne une couleur ambrée et naturelle à l'eau - aide à acidifier l'eau grâce au tanin - offre un environnement adapté aux crustacés et à la micro faune - libère des nutriments utiles aux plantes Avertissement sur la catappa : c'est une plante qui contient naturellement des substances actives et doit être considérée comme un médicament. Il faut donc rester dans une consommation raisonnable et ne pas bourrer un bac avec. Dans le cas d'une litière, vous pouvez mélanger avec d'autres feuilles adaptées. Il faut également respecter les usages d'entretien normaux avec des changements d'eau réguliers (20%/semaine). Rappelons que la plupart des poissons vendus dans le commerce sont des poissons de rivière où l'eau se renouvelle constamment. Ils ne sont donc pas faits pour subir une sur concentration x ou y. Vérifiez les espèces que vous maintenez pour leur apporter un environnement adapté. Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à vous rapprocher d'un forum spécialisé Et si mon commentaire vous a aidé, merci de cliquer sur "utile", ça fait toujours plaisir :)

Doesn’t do anything. It only makes my aquarium looks like dirty

brillant for my black water tank!

I was doing a lot of research in to helping my betta recover from a case of fin rot. A lot of sources recommended these leaves as a way to help encourage a happy betta. My boy seems to absolutely love these leaves. They stain the water a light tea colour, almost unnoticeable if the water is not infront of white. This does not bother me and Mithrandir likes it. The instant I put these leaves in to promote health he started creating full, healthy bubble nests. These leaves are the perfect size for my 2.5 gallon and they are securely packaged. I place 5 in my tank each time I do a water change. These leaves mixed with the appropriate amount of aquarium salt has Myth fully fanning his tail often and has kept his colour vibrant. I highly recommend these for any Betta owner! Your fin babies will love them and thrive.

Ich habe die Catappa Leaves bestellt, um meinem Aquarium ein tropisches Regenwald-Feeling zu geben, und bin total zufrieden. Die Blätter sehen sehr natürlich aus und färben das Wasser leicht bräunlich, was den Fischen und Garnelen sehr zugutekommt. Meine Fische scheinen die Versteckmöglichkeiten zu lieben und wirken entspannter, seit die Blätter im Becken sind. Besonders praktisch finde ich, dass die Blätter antibakterielle Eigenschaften haben und das Wasser auf natürliche Weise leicht säuern – ideal für tropische Fischarten. Sie halten lange, lassen sich einfach ins Aquarium legen und sorgen für eine schöne, natürliche Optik. Fazit: Für mich ein absolutes Must-Have, wenn man ein tropisches Aquarium gestalten möchte – natürlich, praktisch und effektiv. Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen!
