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. Leaves may be cut into smaller pieces for nano aquariums, shrimp tanks, or faster tannin release. Review: ) - Good for shrimp Review: Hope all goes well - These leaves are large & none were broken. I know they say they are organic so I hope that means grown pesticide free. I'm sure they are. The water did turn slightly brown & I hope these will help my corys recover from a disease outbreak & sulfa treatment. They must be doing OK since they laid eggs all over the glass as they usually do after a water change. I am hoping these leaves help the egg health too. We shall see. It is my first time using these leaves. ## Features - NATURAL BLACKWATER BOTANICAL Premium Catappa Indian Almond leaves gradually release natural tannins that help recreate soft blackwater conditions found in tropical freshwater habitats.

I know they say they are organic so I hope that means grown pesticide free. I'm sure they are. The water did turn slightly brown & I hope these will help my corys recover from a disease outbreak & sulfa treatment.

It is my first time using these leaves. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost Instant Tannins *by S***N on December 22, 2025* These are great! I’ve got a 30 gal tank and I just put ONE leaf in and it immediately started darkening my tank with tannins. Just one leaf. I took it out after about a day or so because it was getting too dark. But these things are great and I’m happy that I’ve got so many leaves so this purchase will last awhile. --- ## 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.sn/products/59207656-awesome-aquatic-aquarium-catappa-indian-almond-leaves-10-count-4](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/59207656-awesome-aquatic-aquarium-catappa-indian-almond-leaves-10-count-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
