Product description

Every Hobbyist Knows How to Keep Their Small Fishes Comfortable and Calm

With a SunGrow Pack of 50 Mini Almond Leaves, You Can Sustain It

Shrimps, copepods, sparkling gouramis, cory cats, and oscars love it. Some of them use it as a feeding dish. A few hide behind it and take turns sleeping in the shade of the leaf. Some will make a hammock out of it and sleep on top of it. Watch your mystery snail wear it as a hat.

The water in our country ranges from 4.3 to 5.3, and these tropical or freshwater fish want a slightly neutral pH range (6.0 – 8.0). The low pH level can adversely affect them, whereas the high pH level might curl their fins. Even frequent fluctuations in pH levels cause lethargy and stress. The Ketapang leaves from SunGrow strengthen fish scales.

If you have breeding fish, Mini Catappa leaves also serve to provide fish with a secure place to anchor their eggs. These fish create bubble nests and use this floating leaf to create them. Since you are using real leaves, you don’t have to worry about artificial coloring that may be present in bottled form.

If you want to beautify your tank with Catappa leaves, it is advisable that you place low-light plants such as anubias, Java fern, and Amazon sword. Install driftwood so that the fish have their own privacy.

It is ready to use the moment you receive it in the mail. Just place a few leaves in your tank and only separate them when they disintegrate.

How Tea Water Helps Your Fish? Clears Water

Catappa leaves release compounds that possess antibacterial properties, aiding in water clarification by inhibiting microbial growth.

Natural Food Source

They serve as a natural food source for aquatic organisms, providing essential nutrients and promoting overall health in aquatic environments.

Encourage Natural Behavior

They release tannins that mimic habitats, encouraging natural behaviors in fish, such as foraging and breeding, and creating a stress-free ambiance.

Shell Softening Agent

Catappa leaves release tannins, reducing water hardness and pH, facilitating shell shedding in crustaceans like shrimp, supporting healthy molting.

First Aid Defense

Each leaf measures around 2” and is great for smaller tanks. They make it easier to control the amount of tea water you wish to introduce into your aquarium.

For More Than Just One Pet in Your Tank Frogs

Give a peaceful home to your betta — When fish are given a homely ambiance, they tend to grow stronger. By creating ideal water conditions, we assure that they can prosper. The Indian Almond leaves are considered to have beneficial properties and increase fish appetite.
Have a breeding pet? Add catappa — The tropical fishes create bubble nests using a floating leaf to anchor their bubbles. So, if your tank has a breeding tetra, guppy, platies, molly, cichlid or shrimps, just add these leaves and see them anchoring their eggs over IAL. That is a sight to behold.
Benefits other fish and snails too — The tea water has many advantages for fishes like tetra, discus, and goldfish. It is good for rasboras and many dwarf cichlids too. Apart from that, snail owners can benefit from the magical leaves. Giving your fish this ambience calms them down. It imparts color to them and makes their scales firmer.
Smaller leaves, easier portion control — Each packet contains 50 leaves measuring around 2-inches high which is a great value for money. Smaller Catappa leaves make for easier portion control and a good way to slowly introduce your pet to a new surrounding especially for smaller fishes in smaller tanks.
Adds beauty to nano tanks, small bowls and jars — The Catappa leaves from SunGrow are unprocessed so you know what goes into your tank. They look pretty in a nano tank and add aesthetic beauty to your planted tank. You may even add these in individual betta jars or bowls.
