Terminalia catappa - Indian Almond Leaves in the Aquarium

I have been using these for yeaaaars - I first came across them whilst breeding and since then I have used them in nearly every aqua I have - I swear by them and would never be without.

Besides being a natural miracle cure for many human ailments they are amazing for the aqua.

They remove and purify water of heavy metals.

Have high anti-bacterial properties

Strengthen the fish's immune system & well being.

Quickly heals and prevents finrot, head in the hole disease and fungus infections.

Great for conditioning fish especially betta's and it makes their bubblenests sticker as well.

Because of it's high anti-bacterial properties it also keep cyano bacteria at bay (blue-green algae)

They come in different sizes obviously and I use the really large ones - I always use 1 per 100 liters but you can also put them in the filter if you don't like the look of leaves in your aqua. 

I noticeably notice that my fish are happier when there are leaves in the aqua with them and they colour up more intensely as well....

I love the leaves and what they do for my fish so much I am thinking of purchasing a tree to harvest them myself ;) ;)
