    Catappa leaves have long been used in the shrimp hobby to encourage breeding and establish suitable water conditions so the shrimp are content. Catappa leaves are found naturally in their native environment and this is one of the reasons hobbyists use them.

    Size Guide

    • 15cm (approx)

    The leaves have been air dried and have been packaged to retain their freshness so that when placed in the aquarium they achieve the desired results. Some other benefits are:

    • Helps to cure fish with bacteria infections such as damaged fins
    • Enhances fertility of fish
    • Enhances natural colour of fish and shrimp
    • Lowers pH
    • Adds essential trace elements to your aquarium

    We recommend 2 leaves per 20L of water. Once the leaf decomposes replace. If trying to breed shrimp, use 3-4 leaves per 20L and leave in the aquarium until the shrimp have consumed the leaf.

    Rinse all leaves before placing in aquarium. Once you have used Catappa leaves you'll wonder how you didn't know about them earlier!

    My snails (nerites) enjoy eating them. Only issue is the leave small pieces of plant matter floating in the tank as they decompose. I don’t mind the small amount of mess, but if you aim to have a spotless aquarium you may want to think twice before adding them.

    I bought 10 of theses leaves in the hope of them making the tank water brown, but even after putting 4 small ones in, I'm still waiting. That aside, my fish and shrimp (especially my shrimp) love the leaves so I can recommend them.

    Your plants will be wrapped with recyclable Honey Comb wrap - sounds cool because it is :). It interlocks which means we don't need to use tape either, reducing our impact on the environment.

    Not only is delivery fast with DPD Express but it's also green as they offset all the carbon their vehicles produce. Guilt free delivery which we're very proud of...

    We guarantee you'll be happy with your order. But if you're not, please contact us so we can resolve. We are 100% here to help and will always do our best to resolve any issues - that's a promise.
