## Description

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 desertcart 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 microbial-inhibiting properties, aiding in water clarification by inhibiting microbial growth. Original Food Source They serve as a original food source for aquatic organisms, providing essential nourishment and promoting overall well-being in aquatic environments. Encourage Original Behavior They release tannins that mimic habitats, encouraging original 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 shell renewal. 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 The leaves release beneficial compounds, aiding frogs by creating a original environment that supports their well-being, growth, and reproduction. Shrimps Catappa leaves release tannins and compounds that mimic shrimp's original habitat, promoting coloration, shell renewal, and breeding in shrimp tanks. Hermit Crabs Catappa leaves aid hermit crabs by creating a softer substrate and mimicking their original habitat, supporting their well-being and shell well-being. Betta Fish Catappa leaves release bioactive compounds, creating betta-friendly water conditions that reduce stress and enhance color.

Review: Buster the betta loves them. - My betta loves nestling (is that a word?) around these, make the tank look really natural and seem to calm him down. Claim to help with PH, put 2 in my 10 litre nano tank, tested water after a week, perfect 7.0 reading. Was hoping they'd tinge the water brown as claimed to make it look even more natural among the plants, but I think the fact I use aqua bombs (makes crystal clear water and adds healthy bacteria to water) doesn't help 🙃 they float at first and will float for ages, easy to sink if you want them to, just give them a good dunking! Impressed with the product, fast delivery too.
Review: PERFECT FOR MY NEEDS!!! - I have a number of aquariums, mainly nanos each housing a male betta so l always struggle with the larger catappa leaves having to break them up and making a mess. These are a perfect size for my aquariums, 2 or 3 added to each and proportionally the correct size. They soften and sink quickly and within a day or 2 you can see a slight browning as the tannins are released into the water. The Amano and cherry shrimp love then too, immediately crawling on and under them as they sank. Delivery was quick, ordered and delivered in a matter of days. They came well packaged, unbroken (a feat in itself with dry leaves) and looks a lot more than the 50 requested. lf you need small catappa leaves then get these! Don't be put off by comments of 'they look nothing like the picture', they wouldn't as these are fresh! As it says on the pack, picked and sun dried.

## Features

- Shield Your Beautiful Betta --- More common in uncycled tanks and small bowls, fin rot begins to eat away a betta fish’s beautiful fins. Be careful not to confuse fin rot with fin biting, tearing or splitting. They are caused by physical wound from boredom, fighting or snagging sharp decor. If your betta has fin rot, you will specifically see white, red or black edges on the deteriorating fins.
- Miracle Leaves Keep Betta In An Optimal State --- Fin rot, sometimes called fin melt or tail rot, is fairly common. It is caused by things that exist in your aquarium water. These undesirables start becoming a menace when your betta has a weak growth or when you are raising a vulnerable fry. You can keep your betta fish in optimal wellness by adding these phenomenal leaves.
- Other Medication Not Required --- If you spot fin rot before it gets too severe, you can stop the spread using wholesome Indian almond leaves. Catappa leaves help your betta fish to get in better shape faster. It is best to keep catappa leaves in your tank because once fin rot becomes too bad, it will require medication.
- Speed Up The Breeding Process --- Although bettas are generally interactive fish, they do enjoy a little alone time once in a while. The pack of 50 catappa leaves from SunGrow can provide shelter when placed on the bottom of your betta tank. Your pet fish will love to swim behind and under the leaves to take a rest or a nap. The leaves are also a great place for breeding betta to spawn their eggs.
- Contains Highly Beneficial Compounds --- Once the catappa leaves, also referred to as ketapang leaves, are fully saturated with water, their beneficial compounds begin to work. These compounds cause your aquarium water to darken and have tons of beneficial supplements that relax your betta fish and help aid in a long, happy life. These compounds are similar to those needed to treat fin melt.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this ok and good for the fancy guppies and fry guppies? thanks**
A: NO!  Don't do it, I thought I'd try some for my guppies too, thinking about the healing properties it has for bettas & betta fry.  But instead I lost about 100 guppy fry and around 20 of my adults! After, (should have done this prior !!) I  Googled it & found that there is something in the leaves that poison them.  I just use tap water that's been sitting out for a few days, same room temp. NO Catappa leaves.

**Q: A couple of leaves in my 5.5-gal tank crashed the pH from 6.8 to 6.3 in less than 12 hours.  How can I use leaves without pH crashes?**
A: Hello, Decreasing pH is one of the benefits offered by SunGrow leaves. If you don't want to decrease it, I would recommend using less number of leaves,Some experts recommend boiling the leaves to decrease the effect of tannins. You can try that and see if it works for your tank.

**Q: I have a 10 gallon aquarium with top fin silenstream filter. How many leaves to drop in for 1 smaller goldfish ?**
A: You could drop in a handful. There’s really no limit since the worst that really happens is the water gets very yellow. Though with even a small goldfish in this size tank you’ll likely be changing it out a lot since goldfish need a much bigger space since they produce a lot of waste and grow quite quickly.

**Q: large or small indian almond leaves**
A: Depends on the size of your tank. I would by the large if your tank is over 12 gallons. These leaves are great. You can also break the larger ones as well. Hope this helps. :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not something you can measure.

You can’t really measure how effective these are. You certainly get a lot for your money. It says they will sink in a couple of days and a couple sank straight away. Add a bit to the look.
