Catappa IAL Indian Almond Leaf Litter (50 Pack)
These are the go-to leaves for all our blackwater species, these are perfect for breeders or for someone who wants to create a more natural feel to their blackwater biotope aquascapes. The leaves have naturally dried and fallen from the tree, curled up or crinkled in the process.
They do the exact same job as grade A leaves (Grading in Catappa Indian almond leaves is used to refer to the cosmetic appearance only) they just aren’t as refined in appearance, however, in our opinion they give a more natural appearance when used in aquascaping.
Catappa Indian almond leaves are renowned for their antibacterial properties helping keep common aquarium diseases at bay. They are also known to increase fish health, colour and create suitable spawning conditions for many South American and South-eastern fish species.
