Seachem Laboratories Catappa Water Conditioner Tea Bags are made from Catappa leaves derived from Indian Almond Trees (Terminalia catappa). These tea bags help recreate natural aquatic environments for Bettas, shrimp, and other aquarium species by releasing tannins and organic compounds into the water.

Once introduced to the aquarium, these compounds assist in maintaining a lower pH while gently tinting the water. This effect mimics habitats with acidic water and abundant leaf litter, promoting a more natural setting for aquatic life.

As Catappa leaves break down, they foster the growth of beneficial micro-organisms on their surface. These organisms provide a natural food source for shrimp, snails, and newly-hatched fish, supporting the ecosystem within the aquarium.
