✅ 1 bag: 10 leaves
✅ Indian almond leaves have been a long kept secret of breeders of bettas in south asia.
It was long ago noticed that fish that lived in the waters next to indian almond trees (the leaves of which would fall naturally into the waters) were found to be healthier and more vibrant than their counterparts.
It was then noticed that if one were to introduce the leaves into aquariums one could achieve similar conditions as found in the fishes natural environment.
✅ The leaves were found to help keep their fish healthy with strong anti-bacterial properties and promote breeding.
✅ The dried leaves act as a "black water extract" which gradually turns the water brown like tea and effectively reduces the ph levels in water, releasing organic compounds such as humic acids, flavanoids (quercetin and kamferol) and tannins (s. a. punicalin, punicalagin and tercatein) into the water which absorb harmful chemicals. other fish known to benefit from indian almond leaf use include baby discus, dwarf cichlids, killi fish, rasboras, catfish and black water tetras.

However, the shrimp and fish you receive may be discolored and the reason of this issue is strong vibration during transportation and they're not be fed during the transport period
To handle this problem we highly recommend to you:
🚩Let the fish relax helps them adapt to any changes in water temperature in the tank. Also prevents pH shock - an imbalance between the water in the shop tank and your tank.
🚩Place the fish bag in a cool, corner, and dark place. Prevent the bag from being bumped, slipped, or dropped. This'll give your new fish a good recovery and acclimatization after a shaky ride from the shop to your home.
🚩Feed your old fish first to distract them, preventing them from bullying your new fish.
🚩Your new aquarium tank should have a pH of zero ammonia and chlorine before adding new fish.
🚩Turn off the lights, reduce the glare in the room, or limit the light entering the aquarium. This will help the new fish not be stressed.
These tea bags are an EXCELLENT solution to that problem. With them, my tanks still get the beneficial tannins, but without the messy rotting leaf debris. JuRead more about review stating LOVE the catappa tea bags. Easier and tidier to use.st toss the bag after the water turns tannin rich brown. I'll buy these again.
I love the medicinal qualities of catappa Indian almond leaves for fish. But I dislike the mess they leave when they break down. I feel like it encourages detritus worm population explosions
When compared to a package of leaves I purchased at a different online merchant, Buca's wins hands down.

These are a great size for catappa leaves. Not too big and not too small

All of my shrimp arrived healthy ( 30 Blue Diamond ), as they grow it looks like I have 18 females and 12 males. It's now been a month and 2 of my beautiful females are now buried. I'm so excited to have baby's in a few weeks. So 5 stars from me.
Great addition to my tank. Very active swimmers and get along great with my Neon Tetra's, Ember Tetra's and cherry shrimp.
I had my Tiger Pleco shipped. It arrived in healthy condition. It is thriving in my tank now 3 weeks later. I would recommend this service and this fish! It's already grown quite a lot and seems very happy in its new home.
The perfect addition to any community tank- these guys settled in nicely and already gotten along with my other corys. They are so amusing to watch swim around with eachother. Micro aquatic shop delivered them to me packaged safely and in great condition.
Got myself 6 Amanpa Redbacks a month ago. A week ago a pair spawned and are caring for a clutch of free swimmers in a community tank. 2 days ago another trio (female, 2 males) spawned in the tank also. I am going to be over run with Angels if these keep breeding like this lol.
