Organic Almond Leaves / Catappa

Cherry shrimp absolutely love catappa (Indian almond) leaves. As a leaf breaks down it grows biofilm and releases beneficial tannins, giving your shrimp a healthy, organic food source while gently conditioning the water — the natural, low-effort way to feed a colony.

Benefits of Indian almond leaves

• Natural food: shrimp graze the leaf and the biofilm it grows for weeks
• Water conditioning: tannins lightly lower pH and have natural antibacterial properties
• Shrimplet shelter: baby shrimp hide and feed under decaying leaves
• 100% organic: no additives, safe for shrimp, snails and fish

How to use

Drop in a leaf and let the tank find its balance as the shrimp feed. With shrimp, less is more — they're natural scavengers that thrive on the organic growth a leaf provides. Fast shipping across Canada.
