Indian Almond Leaves (also called Catappa Leaves) are a cornerstone of blackwater and Botanical Method Aquariums. Sourced from clean coastal regions where stable climates produce thick, tannin-rich leaves, they are prized for their ability to soften water, lower pH, and release beneficial compounds. As they break down, these leaves provide cover for fish, food for microfauna, and surface area for biofilm and fungi to thrive.
Every batch we carry is carefully tested and hand-inspected before being packaged in 100% compostable materials—the only brand to offer this eco-conscious standard.
