About the Catappa+
Catappa+ Premium Indian Almond Leaves
Bring the natural beauty and benefits of blackwater habitats to your aquarium with Catappa+ Premium Indian Almond Leaves. Sourced directly from trusted betta farms in Indonesia, our extra-large leaves are naturally grown without pesticides, herbicides, or harmful chemicals. Every leaf is carefully hand-selected, heat pressed, and heat sanitized to ensure a clean, premium-quality product trusted by professional betta breeders and aquarium hobbyists alike.
As the leaves naturally break down in your aquarium, they slowly release tannins, humic substances, fulvic compounds, and other beneficial organic compounds that recreate the soft, tea-colored waters found throughout Southeast Asia and the Amazon Basin. These natural compounds help create a more comfortable environment for many freshwater species while giving your aquarium a beautiful blackwater appearance.
Catappa+ is an excellent choice for bettas, discus, angelfish, tetras, corydoras, rasboras, gouramis, apistogramma, shrimp, and many other freshwater fish that naturally inhabit tannin-rich waters. It is also ideal for breeding tanks, quarantine aquariums, and aquascapes where a natural botanical look is desired.
