SunGrow 50 pcs Catappa Indian Almond Leaves – 2” Water Conditioner for Betta Fish Tank, Aquarium Leaf for Fish Breeding, Shrimp, Goldfish, Guppy & Frogs

Well-packaged. Arrived dry and crispy, as expected. Effective at releasing tannins. Small size, perfect for tadpole cups - only need one leaf per cup for a deep amber color. Will definitely order again.

Oh my gosh I love this stuff including my betta fish, And it really helps with the water making it perfect for the betta fish and his health, And it's truly easy to use I just put it straight into my tank and allow it to do what it needs to do, And it lasts a long time, This stuff is so safe and so beneficial for your fish tank and your plants.

I have a 10 gallon tank. It is well filtered and heated. I condition the water and add beneficial bacteria. I do water changes every two weeks and nearly a full change each month. I also have four different species of plants. I have a female betta and one female danio ( I had 3 danios, but the female betta killed them. She has lived peacefully with the third danio for weeks in account of the danio swims super fast, so the betta gave up. Also they are both happy and healthy.) Good, now that we have a little backstory, let me tell you my experience with these almond leaves. When I first received the package, the leaves were lovely in shape and were not too fragile. They held their form well. I put seven leaves in the tank. The package said 10 leaves for 12 gallons but I have a 10 gallon. Immediately my curious betta examined the leaves. She continues to attempt to eat the stem, possibly because it resembles her feeding tongs. My betta was glass surfing because a plant was dying in my tank and had gone unnoticed. I purchased these leaves to hopefully reduce the stress of the ammonia spike that had happened previously. Immediately after adding the leafs I see a change in attitude and she is playful and relaxed. My danio doesn't really care, but I know this meant a lot for my betta. At first, the leaves do not match the color of the leaves advertised. I wasn't very worried about what the color would be when they arrived, I was more worried about the fragility of them considering they're dried leaves coming in the mail. Like I said they arrived safely and have wonderful form. After 8 hours of them still floating at the top, I decided to flip them over. To which most of them sank within 30 seconds. The package label stated that I could use 20 to 30 leaves in a 12 gallon tank if a stronger color was desired. I was using these leaves for medicinal reasons. I had initially thought that adding too many leaves could be toxic. I will keep this in mind for the future. I took a final picture after 3 days of leaves in a ten gallon. I can see a light coloration in the water and the leaves now have a vibrant red-brown color. Great value for my money, and well worth the buy. I will be purchasing again in the future. It's unfortunate that so many people were not patient enough with the product. Many reviews that I saw on here were about how the leaves didn't match the color in the picture. Their loss!

Thank

After a couple of weeks with new betta fish. He seemed stressed out and clamped fins. I ordered these and put a couple in his tank and within a couple of days. He is happy, fins are fanned out now and swimming around great. Will keep using these in his tank. Will definitely order more when I need them. Effective for sure.

I love this product, and my betta does too! It does change the color of the water, but it perfectly balanced the levels in my tank and it doesn’t look dirty it looks natural. All I had to do was toss a couple in the top of my tank and within a couple minutes my tank was where it needed to be. So all in all they were easy to use, they are great quality, safe for my fish, and make the tank healthy. I will definitely be using this again and again.

Giving this a 5 star review! Our betta had the beginning look of fin rot. I added 6 of these leaves, with dosed aquarium salt to his 5.5 gallon, and the fin rot is gone. The water didn’t turn as brown as I thought it would. There is no smell, and nothing to clean. Very easy, just threw in a bunch of these leaves and my sweet betta looks great after 24 hours! This is a good quality catappa leaf, though the leaves are small and you may want to add more than the amount recommended on the packaging. Made my betta healthy again without having to buy expensive medicine.

A good price and you get a lot of tiny leaves. No smell, didnt kill anything, and the plants in the tank are unaffected. However the water seemed a little too clear considering how many were added to the tank over the course of a few weeks to see a change. I kept some in a little sauce cup of water for a few days just to test if they do work, and they did.. I may just need to get bigger leaves from somewhere else. But they're easy enough to use and my fish is still healthy

Avertissement préalable : je ne suis pas botaniste et je ne suis pas en mesure de garantir que c'est bien de la catappa. Ceci dit, je n'a aucune raison de douter du contraire. Pour ma part j'apprécie ce produit car il permet d'obtenir tous les avantages de la catappa dans un format pratique et à un bon rapport qualité prix. Les feuilles sont correctes et bien emballées (voir photo). Dans l'eau, les feuilles sont "dures" et se dégradent très lentement. Dans 60l j'ai créé un petite "litière" de feuille, dans un coin (8 feuilles). La coloration est légère. Les occupants ont l'air détendus (impression ?) et ça fait un terrain de jeu pour les crevettes. Je le conseillerais pour "recharger" un petit bac, ou créer une petite litière de feuille dans un bac plus grand, le tout à petit prix. Avantage de la catappa : - a un certain effet "médical" sur les poissons : antistress, antifongique - donne une couleur ambrée et naturelle à l'eau - aide à acidifier l'eau grâce au tanin - offre un environnement adapté aux crustacés et à la micro faune - libère des nutriments utiles aux plantes Avertissement sur la catappa : c'est une plante qui contient naturellement des substances actives et doit être considérée comme un médicament. Il faut donc rester dans une consommation raisonnable et ne pas bourrer un bac avec. Dans le cas d'une litière, vous pouvez mélanger avec d'autres feuilles adaptées. Il faut également respecter les usages d'entretien normaux avec des changements d'eau réguliers (20%/semaine). Rappelons que la plupart des poissons vendus dans le commerce sont des poissons de rivière où l'eau se renouvelle constamment. Ils ne sont donc pas faits pour subir une sur concentration x ou y. Vérifiez les espèces que vous maintenez pour leur apporter un environnement adapté. Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à vous rapprocher d'un forum spécialisé Et si mon commentaire vous a aidé, merci de cliquer sur "utile", ça fait toujours plaisir :)

brillant for my black water tank!

This piece of nature is great for fish and the snails will clean it right up when it starts to fade away. Its gods wonder. Bettas do really well with these leaves.

Buena calidad

Ich habe die Catappa Leaves bestellt, um meinem Aquarium ein tropisches Regenwald-Feeling zu geben, und bin total zufrieden. Die Blätter sehen sehr natürlich aus und färben das Wasser leicht bräunlich, was den Fischen und Garnelen sehr zugutekommt. Meine Fische scheinen die Versteckmöglichkeiten zu lieben und wirken entspannter, seit die Blätter im Becken sind. Besonders praktisch finde ich, dass die Blätter antibakterielle Eigenschaften haben und das Wasser auf natürliche Weise leicht säuern – ideal für tropische Fischarten. Sie halten lange, lassen sich einfach ins Aquarium legen und sorgen für eine schöne, natürliche Optik. Fazit: Für mich ein absolutes Must-Have, wenn man ein tropisches Aquarium gestalten möchte – natürlich, praktisch und effektiv. Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen!
