About this botanical

Bring a natural leaf-litter detail to your shrimp tank with Catappa Almond Leaves. As the leaves soften, they provide surfaces to graze and small places to shelter.

Is this right for me?

A natural decoration that needs preparation before it goes in the tank. Read the steps below and allow it to cool fully after boiling.

How to use it

Prepare before use according to the product information's preparation guidance: boil, then cool fully before adding. Introduce gradually and monitor water conditions as the leaves break down.

Good to know

Dried leaves and wood can release tannins, natural substances that tint the water brown and can change its acidity. Add gradually and check your water. They do not treat disease.
