About this item
- 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 medium catappa leaves are unprocessed. They vary in size with lengths of 4-7” (10-18 cm). 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).
- Handpicked for Optimum Quality --- If you pick the leaves outside, you cannot be sure of the quality they might have. The catappa leaves are guaranteed to be genuine. 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.

Product Description
How Do I Use The Shrimp Leaves?
The SunGrow Leaves are incredibly easy to use. Depending on the size of tank and the pH level needed, drop a few leaves. You can remove or add more as per requirement. You can use full leaves in larger tanks and tear the leaves into smaller pieces for 5-gallon tanks.
What are The Benefits of Indian Almond Leaves?
Water Conditioner
See the tank water achieve their optimal pH level after you add our leaves.
Natural Food Source
Over a period of time a layer of biofilm gets created on top of the leaf which serves as a nutritional food source especially for breeding shrimps.
Encourage Foraging & Breeding
The tea-colored water created by the magical leaves aims at creating the ideal shrimp enclosure. It encourages breeding and fitter crustaceans.
Promotes Molting
Shrimps has the tendency to mold and it consumes their lot of energy. Once they are at their optimal well-being, they shed their skin effortlessly.
How Many Leaves Should I Add?
Depending on the size of your shrimp tank and the pH level needed, start by dropping a few leaves into your tank. You can always remove leaves or add more as per the requirement. If you have a variety of tanks, you can use full leaves in larger tanks and tear the leaves into smaller pieces for one to five-gallon tanks.
What is so "Magical" about SunGrow Shrimp Leaves?
Seemingly simple, they are one of the most hardworking products in your tank, providing a slew of benefits. They create ideal environment for ailing shrimps. As a nutritional food source, they enhance shrimp’s color, accelerate recovery rate, balance pH, provide shelter and entertainment.
How should I prepare the leaves before using?
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.
Do Catappa leaves change the water color?
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 natural, tinted environment.
How long do Catappa leaves last in the aquarium?
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.
Are these leaves only for Shrimps?
No, even snails and fish love Catappa leaves.
Can these leaves be used with other aquarium additives like medications or fertilizers?
It is best to avoid using medications or other additives simultaneously or remove the leaves temporarily during any treatment. Tannins and other substances released by the leaves might interfere with the effectiveness of certain medications.
