Catappa products, sourced from the Indian Almond Tree (Terminalia catappa), offer a natural and effective way to replicate the soft, tannin-rich environments ideal for Bettas, shrimp, snails, and other tropical or soft-water species. Available in both loose leaf and tea bag formats, they help recreate the acidic, leaf-littered conditions found in the wild.

When added to your aquarium, Catappa releases tannins and organic compounds that gently lower pH and create a calming amber tint in the water. As loose leaves break down, they also support the growth of beneficial micro-organismsan excellent natural food source for shrimp, snails, and fry. The tea bag option provides the same benefits in a cleaner, pre-measured format for easy, mess-free use.
