Nature’s conditioner. Shrimp favorite. Blackwater essential.
Our Indian Almond Leaves, also known as Catappa leaves, are a staple for freshwater shrimp and nano fish aquariums. Each order includes 10 natural leaves, carefully selected for aquarium use.
When added to your tank, these leaves gradually release beneficial tannins that help create a more natural, stress-reducing environment similar to the streams and forest waters shrimp originate from.
Encourage biofilm growth for shrimp grazing
Release natural tannins
Support a more natural, blackwater-style environment
Provide shelter for shrimplets
Help reduce stress in livestock
As the leaves soften, they become a feeding platform for both adult shrimp and shrimplets. Many breeders use them regularly in Caridina and Neocaridina setups to support colony health.
Rinse lightly before use
Add directly to aquarium
Use 1 leaf per 5–10 gallons depending on desired tannin level
Leaves will initially float and sink over time. They can remain in the tank as they naturally break down, serving as a long-term grazing surface.
Perfect for shrimp tanks, betta aquariums, and natural aquascapes, Indian Almond Leaves are a simple addition that delivers both function and beauty.
