Every hobbyist knows how tough it is to keep their fishes comfortable and calm especially with smaller fish species. But, 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.
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 inside your aquarium. For a 12-gallon tank, introduce around 12 leaves till the water reaches the color or pH you desire. When you do the water change, just add 5 leaves and the water won't turn mellow and the pH will remain stable.
The water in our country ranges from 4.3 - 5.3 and these tropical or freshwater fishes 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 fishes, Mini Catappa leaves also serve to provide fishes with a secure place to anchor their eggs. These fishes create a bubble nest 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 Amazon sword. Install driftwood so that the fishes get the privacy of their own.
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.
