Sungrow Pleco Large Catappa Indian Almond Leaves, 8 Leaf for Fish Aquarium Tank

SunGrow's hand-picked Giant Catappa Leaves are a familiar and beneficial addition to your pet's world, being part of their native home. Although they may not be on the top of your shopping list now, these Giant Catappa Leaves are about to become an indispensable component of your aquarium. In fact, they are one of the most hardworking vegetation in your tank, providing many benefits for fishes, shrimps, frogs and even snails.

These Catappa Leaves are rich in properties that condition your aquarium's water and lower stress in fishes. By boosting your pet's health, they promote successful breeding and offspring. When soft, the leaves also provide a nutritious snack, as snails, shrimp and fishes have been known to occasionally take a nibble on them to keep themselves healthy. Additionally, the leaves form makeshift shelters for fishes to sleep under and are great nests for their eggs to latch onto.

You'll receive 10 giant leaves in one pack, which you can simply drop into the tank. After a few days, you'll notice your tank water browning, which is a normal and desirable outcome as the beneficial properties are being released into the water. This water conditioning will support optimal tank conditions for your aquatic pets. Remember to remove the leaves when you see them disintegrating, and always rinse them before use, even after boiling or soaking.

SunGrow is your go-to source, the one-stop pet shop that offers everyday products for your dogs, cats, shrimps, betta fish, hermit crabs, birds, reptiles, rabbits, and others. Although we obtain our products from the purest known areas, we still take the extra step to ensure everything is perfect for your pet.

The large catappa leaves are a delicious and nutritious treat for bottom-feeding fish such as cory catfish, Bristlenose plecostomus and Kuhli loach, as their downturned mouths are perfectly suited to shredding the leaves right down to the skeleton.

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. These leaves also create cozy and secure places for your fish to reproduce and spawn their eggs, allowing the baby fish to stay among the leaves until they are confident to come out and stay active.

As the catappa leaves become fully waterlogged, they begin to release beneficial elements that help stabilize the pH value in your aquarium water. They also soften the water and contain medicinal elements that enrich and condition the water, imparting color and encouraging reproduction.

The release of these elements from the large catappa leaves turns your aquarium water a yellowish brown color, mimicking the blackwater habitat that your pleco and catfish thrive in. This color change is an indicator that your pet fish are getting the nourishment they need to thrive.

These Large Miracle Leaves are versatile, as they can be used in a variety of aquatic habitats, including aquariums, vivariums, paludariums, terrariums, and ripariums. Fish such as pleco, catfish, cichlids, killifishes, characins, and gouramis will all benefit from the blackwater environment created by these exceptional leaves.
