Extra-Large Indian Catappa Almond Leaves (20 Pack)
I don’t think a fishkeeper out there does not know the many benefits of Catappa Indian almond leaves. At Castle Dawn Aquatics we use them religiously with all our wild and domestic Bettas.
Their antibacterial properties help keep diseases at bay and the release of humic acids lowers the pH value of the water, perfect for any blackwater species. Our X-large almond leaves are just shy of 30cm making them great for larger aquariums.
Catappa Indian almond leaves are not only renowned for their antibacterial properties but their ability to aid in fish health, promote fin growth, invigorating colours and create suitable spawning conditions for many South American and Southeastern species.
