Catappa Leaves XL Hobby

Catappa Leaves XL Hobby are large dried Indian almond leaves, used for decades in aquariums to naturally improve the health, behavior, and well-being of fish and invertebrates.

The beneficial bacteria in the filter are not affected by the use of Indian almond leaves. During fish transport, adding a piece of leaf to the water helps reduce stress and sensitivity to a high microbial load.

Placed in the aquarium, Indian almond leaves Hobby promote reproduction, limit fungal development on eggs, and improve the overall vitality of animals. They naturally release tannins and humic substances, recreating an environment similar to tropical biotopes.
