Seachem Catappa Leaves – Natural Botanicals for Bettas, Shrimp & Blackwater Aquariums

Recreate a natural, stress-free environment for your aquarium. Seachem Catappa Leaves release beneficial tannins and organic compounds, helping mimic the soft, acidic waters that Bettas, shrimp, and many species thrive in.

Key Benefits:

• Releases tannins to gently lower pH
• Creates natural blackwater conditions
• Supports fish health and reduces stress
• Provides a natural food source for shrimp and fry
• Enhances natural behaviour and breeding conditions

Many tropical species come from environments rich in leaf litter and tannin-stained water.
Replicating these conditions helps improve fish wellbeing, encourage natural behaviour, and support healthier shrimp and fry development.

Catappa Leaves are Perfect for:

✔ Betta fish and shrimp tanks
✔ Blackwater and biotope aquariums
✔ Breeding setups and fry tanks

As the leaves break down, they promote the growth of beneficial micro-organisms — providing a continuous, natural food source for shrimp, snails, and young fish.

When added to your aquarium, Catappa Leaves slowly release tannins and organic compounds that lower pH naturally, tint the water a tea-like colour and creates a more natural, calming environment.

If you want to create a more natural, balanced, and stress-free environment for your aquarium inhabitants, Catappa Leaves are a simple and effective addition.
