## Features

- Delicious, Nutritious Bottom Feeder Treat --- Bottom-dwelling fish such as cory catfish, Bristlenose plecostomus and Kuhli loach require certain forms of food and treats in order to comfortably feed. Because the catappa leaves sink to the bottom of your tank, they are the perfect delicious addition for your pet’s downturned mouth. Watch as your fish shred the leaves right down to the skeleton.
- Provides Shelter and Breeding Spots --- At a practical size of between 7” and 9” in length, the pack of 10 SunGrow Large Indian Almond Leaves provides substantial areas for your bottom-dwelling fish and other aquatic pets to swim around and hide behind. The leaves also create cozy and secure places for your fish to reproduce and spawn their eggs. Baby fish can stay among the leaves until they are confident to come out and stay active.
- Releases Elements That Stabilize pH Levels --- Once catappa leaves are fully waterlogged, they begin to release beneficial elements. They help in stabilizing the pH value in your aquarium water. They also soften the water and contain medicinal elements that benefit your aquatic pets by enriching and conditioning their water. It imparts color and encourages reproduction as well.
- Mimics Blackwater Habitat --- As the elements in the large catappa leaves are released, they will turn your aquarium water a yellowish brown color. This is evidence that the leaves are doing their job, as the characteristics and appearance of the water mimic the blackwater habitat that your pleco and catfish live in. The color is an indicator that your pet fish are getting the nourishment that they need to thrive.
- Useful to Many Types of Aquatic Life --- These Large Miracle Leaves are the ones that you’ll find in its tree, making them an excellent addition to a variety of habitats. Along with aquariums, the leaves serve as leaf litter for vivariums, paludariums, terrariums, and ripariums. Fish such as pleco, catfish, cichlids, killifishes, characins, and gouramis benefit from the blackwater environment.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I bought the giant leaves by mistake. i have a 3 gallon tank. seller said i could cut them. how big they should be?  how long do they last in tank?**
A: I would cut it in thirds. My leaves lasted for about two weeks in my tank, but it's not heavily stocked.

**Q: I bought the giant leaves by mistake. i have a 3 gallon tank. seller said i could cut them. how big they should be?  how long do they last in tank?**
A: I bought the giant leaves for my 5-gallon tank. After leaving them whole, rinsing them in hot water, then pouring boiling water over them and allowing them to steep, I place two, that’s right, two in my tank. I put them at the back of the tank with stem edge down and they look awesome. I also pour the steeped liquid in while doing a water change. They last for about two weeks before starting to decompose. I suppose if I were to cut them, I would cut them in fourths. But I just love how much the whole leaf makes my tank look more natural.

**Q: My package is not as pictured and the label has not printed legibly. Can the seller/ someone please post a picture of the label with the instructions?**
A: Hi,

Please find the instructions below :

1. Drop 3 leaves (or 5 boiled leaves) per 12 gallon (50 liters).
2. The leaves will sink only after 1-2 days.
3. To make them sink more quickly, you can place a rock or some gravel to hold these down.
4. Replace the leaves during water change or when these are fully dissolved. 

Hope you like the leaves.
Thanks!
