Review: Good product. - These leaves arrived whole, no odor and in good shape. I used them in my fish tank and was happy with the results, I just popped them into the tank and let them sink. Feel free to order from this company safely. Price was fair, came in a timely fashion and of course easy to use.
Review: Perfect for Neo Caridina Shrimp or Betta - I purchased to use in both my Shrimp tank and Betta tank. They both seem to enjoy them as do my snails.

## Features

- Creates Conducive Ambiance for Shrimps --- Several breeds of shrimp have habitats in mountain streams surrounded by overhanging trees and brush, making the area abundant in fallen leaves and plant debris. Adding Shrimp leaves to their tank mimics their original habitat and gives them the privacy for reproducing. A must-have for all shrimp breeders, these provide a secure shelter for grown up shrimps and a convenient hiding spot for baby shrimps.
- Delicious Treat for Your Shrimps --- A few days after you place the shrimp leaves in the tank, they will slowly settle down to the bottom. As they settle, they soften on which shrimp love to graze on. This food provides a balanced diet and aids in building your shrimp’s system. Shrimp love this delicious treat and will eat the leaves right down to the skeleton.
- Raw Shrimp Leaves --- For the most beneficial addition to your shrimp tank, the SunGrow Shrimp Leaves are a good choice. While products available in the market may or may not be genuine, the catappa leaves are unprocessed. They vary in size. If you have a smaller tank or varying size tanks, you can tear up the larger leaves into smaller pieces.
- A Must-Have for Shrimp Keepers --- These Indian Almond leaves are essential in keeping your shrimp happy. These leaves have beneficial properties that help in calming your shrimp (particularly important if you are introducing more or moving them).
- PREPARATION: Before placing the product in the aquarium, rinse before use, even after boiling or soaking. A "post-boil soak" in fresh water is a recommended step, too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How should I prepare the leaves before using?**
A: Wash in tap water first, boil for 10 minutes using fresh or bottled water, you can also soak for 30 minutes or more in bottled water. Ensure the leaves are properly cooled before introducing them into your aquarium.

**Q: Do Catappa leaves change the water color?**
A: Yes, they do. The leaves release tannins, which can cause the water to turn slightly brownish or yellowish. This is entirely normal and safe for the fish. In fact, many fish species, like bettas, enjoy and thrive in this good, tinted environment.

**Q: How long do Catappa leaves last in the aquarium?**
A: The leaves will gradually break down over time as they release their beneficial compounds. They can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Once they have disintegrated, you can replace them with fresh leaves.

**Q: Are these leaves only for Shrimps?**
A: No, even snails and fish love Catappa leaves.

**Q: Can these leaves be used with other aquarium additives like medications or fertilizers?**
A: It is best to avoid using medications or other additives simultaneously or take off the leaves temporarily during any treatment. Tannins and other substances released by the leaves might interfere with the effectiveness of certain medications.
