The GARNELEN4YOU® Indian Almond Leaves (Terminalia catappa, also called Catappa Leaves) are a proven natural product for shrimp and nano aquariums. In water, they release valuable humic acids, flavonoids, and tannins – with antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties that naturally strengthen your shrimp's immune system. This pack contains 20 medium-sized leaves, 10–15 cm in size – ideal for aquariums of 30–50 liters. Hand-harvested and sun-dried, from uncontaminated forest regions of Indonesia. A product of biologist and shrimp breeder Dr. Philipp T. Baumann.

What Indian Almond Leaves do for your aquarium:

• Natural Immune Protection: Humic acids, tannins, and flavonoids have antibiotic, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects – protecting shrimp from infections and strengthening mucous membranes.
• Gentle pH Reduction: The released humic acids slowly and steadily lower the pH value – without significantly affecting the conductivity. Ideal for Caridina keeping.
• Natural Long-Term Food & Grazing Area: Microorganisms settle on the leaves, which shrimp use as a food source – for weeks.
• Natural Design & Juvenile Hiding Place: Leaves create a natural aquarium appearance and provide important retreats for juveniles.
• Highest Quality: Hand-harvested, sun-dried, continuously tested in Dr. Baumann's in-house breeding facility.

Application Tip:

1 leaf (10–15 cm) per 30 liters of aquarium water – replace every 1–2 weeks. For safety, rinse briefly with water before placing in the aquarium. The slight brown discoloration of the water is normal and desired – it remains effective for approx. 3 weeks. Therapeutically or preventatively, multiple leaves can be used (pH control recommended).
