Carefully selected premium Catappa leaves gradually release natural tannins that help recreate the soft blackwater environments found throughout tropical rainforest streams. As the leaves slowly break down, they become natural leaf litter that promotes biofilm development while providing grazing surfaces, shelter, and hiding places for Caridina shrimp, Neocaridina shrimp, snails, fry, bettas, and many other freshwater aquarium inhabitants. They are widely used by aquarists to recreate natural habitats for blackwater species while adding an authentic botanical appearance to the aquarium. Simply add one or more leaves according to aquarium size. As the leaves naturally decompose, they continue releasing tannins while enriching the aquarium environment and becoming part of a balanced freshwater ecosystem. Available in multiple leaf sizes and package quantities, these Catappa leaves are ideal for nano aquariums, shrimp habitats, betta aquariums, breeding projects, planted tanks, freshwater community aquariums, aquascaping, and blackwater biotopes. Whether you're creating a natural shrimp habitat, conditioning a blackwater aquarium, or enhancing a planted display, Awesome Aquatic Catappa Indian Almond Leaves provide a simple, natural botanical addition trusted by hobbyists, breeders, and aquascapers. Suggested Use: Add approximately 1 leaf per 5 gallons of water or 2 leaves per 10–15 gallons.

My bettas really appreciate these leaves, the tannins are enough that one leaf will be enough for a 10 gallon tank and if you really want to get as much as you can from them you can even boil them then add the tannin water after it cools. These have lasted us months and covered several bettas. I am currently preparing to order more. The tannins from these leaves have many benefits and uses and I recommend these to anyone who has Bettas. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product great price *by on Reviewed in the United States June 30, 2026* Great product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 11, 2026* These leaves raised the pH in my tanks, which was exactly what I wanted. Plus, I love the color to the water now. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/59207656-awesome-aquatic-aquarium-catappa-indian-almond-leaves-10-count-4](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/59207656-awesome-aquatic-aquarium-catappa-indian-almond-leaves-10-count-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
