Seachem Catappa Tea Bags

Catappa Tea Bags are a convenient and mess-free way to harness the natural benefits of the Indian Almond Tree (Terminalia catappa) for your aquarium. Designed to replicate the natural environments of bettas, shrimp, and other tropical freshwater species, these tea bags release beneficial compounds that promote a healthy and thriving aquatic ecosystem.

When added to your aquarium, Catappa Tea Bags provide a steady source of tannins and organic compounds that help to gently lower pH levels, creating water conditions similar to those found in blackwater habitats. The resulting tea-colored tint enhances the natural beauty of your aquarium while mimicking environments rich in leaf litter and acidic water, such as the rivers and streams of Southeast Asia and South America.

Catappa Tea Bags also support the well-being of your aquarium inhabitants. The tannins released can reduce stress in fish, boost their immune systems, and improve coloration. Additionally, these compounds exhibit mild antibacterial and antifungal properties, which may aid in healing minor injuries and protecting against infections.

Unlike loose Catappa leaves, the tea bags offer a cleaner and more controlled way to introduce tannins into your aquarium. Each bag is pre-portioned for ease of use, allowing aquarists to achieve the perfect balance for their tank size without the mess of decaying leaves.

Simply add one bag to your tank, monitor the results, and enjoy the benefits of this all-natural product. Not for human consumption.
