Catappa Tea Bags - 12 pk
Tannins, found in substances like Catappa leaves, offer several benefits in aquariums, making them a popular choice among hobbyists. They have plenty of advantages! Tannins help to prevent fungal and bacterial infections in fish and their eggs, reducing the risk of disease in the aquarium. By influencing water chemistry, tannins can slow down or even eliminate algae growth, keeping your aquarium cleaner and reducing maintenance. Tannins can also help manage populations of pest snails and crustaceans, which can otherwise become problematic in aquariums. Fish species that thrive in low pH and soft water conditions will benefit from tannins, often showing more vibrant colors and increased spawning behaviors, and enjoying the shade provided by the leaves. SEACHEM Catappa Tea Bags bring these benefits in a convenient, mess-free format. They contain whole leaves but are packaged in a small, filter-friendly bag, allowing for easy application and continuous release of tannins into the aquarium without the hassle of dealing with loose leaf debris. Overall, incorporating tannins into your aquarium setup can enhance the health and well-being of your aquatic life while also providing practical benefits for maintenance and habitat enrichment.
