- Do you not mind tannins in your aquarium? Are you intrigued by the thought of a magical leaf that has natural healing properties for your fish? Then boy do I have a treat for you, today we are talking about Indian almond leaves (or Catappa Leaves)! 😄 Alder cones? FORGET ABOUT IT.... jk.
Indian almond leaves leave your fish tank with a nice buffered low PH, and a beautiful orange-brown tinge from its healing tannins. Catappa leaves are an amazing addition to not only black water aquariums, but almost any aquarium, especially if you keep betta fish, snails, shrimp, and so many more!

I agree with you 💯 on the good of cattapa leaves in the aquarium 😊👍
Another awesome video! You should make a video on how you like to Aquascape your tanks they all look really neat!
Awee thanks Marck 😄! It's funny you mention that because I have an empty 5 gallon just sitting around..... That could be a great idea!
@@JillsFishRoom hopefully see something soon! Super excited ! And glad to see your back safe from the trip!
Yes i have and they are great to treat sick fish
I love them! They're in all of my tanks... some more than others lol
I love that 😍 You must have so many more secrets to keeping bettas. Is there any other things you can't go without for them?
I use them. They grow in my neighborhood. 😁
Thank you ❤️🙏🏽✌🏽👑
I enjoy using Indian almond leaves for a lot of my tanks. My tap water has so much kh that the Indian almond leaves do not soften my water at all, however, I do have some tanks that I use remineralized RO water and it does work for them really well. I boil mine, but reserve the tannin water and use it particularly on my betta tank. I actually love keeping his tank as a black water setup and the plants benefit from the humic acid as well.
Have you tried Jack fruit leaves? I hear they are even better than Indian almond leaves. I think I'm going to mix them with my Indian almond leaves. I just stumbled onto your channel and thought I'd leave a comment and subscribe. I love to see what everyone of us fish enthusiasts are doing.
Awesome! Thank you for the information! Was thinking about getting a Betta, Tetras or Corydoras for my bedroom!

Very good your vídeo....👏👏👏🐟🐟
Appreciative of ya 😄!
I use them in ALL of my aquariums (all 7). Every fish and invertebrate I have enjoys them. In smaller tanks, they change the water color, but the bettas like that. I have cory cats, bettas, gouramis, neon tetras, cherry shrimp, assassin snails, mystery snails, endlers, and tons of bristlenose plecos (separate communities) - and all of them gravitate to these leaves.
I love that 😇 Seeing how much everyone else loves these leaves makes me want to buy a tree! I want to have a shrimp tank one day so I need to prepare :)

I love Catappa leaves because they made my Betta so relaxed by simulating a natural habitat, it regrew some fins damaged by rot and its colour has increased from what I thought was a pale pink female betta from when I purchased it in a store to a vivid purple and red betta!! I'll never not use Indian almond leaves again 🥰🥰
Aww what a great story! 🥰 Nothing is better than seeing your fish colour up because they're so happy.
I totally agree, I can never ever go without these leaves again!
How long did it take for your betta to regrow its fins? I am currently treating my betta with fin rot so I need to know what to expect.
@@anoobis_ i would say it took my betta around 2 weeks to see an improvement and around 4 weeks for full growth, however it did have plakat fins which are shorter than others such as rose tail, crown tail etc. Good luck! Make sure to keep testing water conditions too
Thanks for sharing. I will drop my IAL later
I just grabbed a few today and washed them and put the leafs in a few minutes ago. first time trying it but first reason was because I was using Blackwater concentrates to get the rio negro effect but maybe the filter is too powerfull and it always clears back up in a few minutes. Second reason I just added cherry shrimp to the community tank and I figured it would help.
Nice video Jill! I just put these leaves in a couple tanks a few days ago and like the tinted water. The Serpae Tetras seem to like it too!
Dan! Don't you like the look? ☺️ I'm gonna look into buying an Indian almond tree here so I have an infinite supply lol.
Also, I've heard another reason why fish like them is because the dark colour makes them feel safer! Such a cool leaf 🍃
@@JillsFishRoom I love the brown look! Going to see how dark I can get the water by adding more leaves. These trees grow near our beaches so the leaves are free!
I'm also going to try breeding my peppered corys and putting leaves with the eggs for the fungus. Thanks for the great videos!
That's such a cool idea lol send me pics of your tank on Patreon when the leaves have time to soak 🤩 And pleaseee let me know how your cory eggs go, my cories aren't spawning right now because it's too hot where I live :( but I'm so curious if the babies will like it.
Thank ya for being so kind! 😁 I appreciate ya.

Fish such as Neon green Rasbora prefer soft and slightly acidic water.
I haven't but I will now great information
I'm proud to of convinced you! ☺️
Haven't used them yet...but probably will try them out....
Yes do! I'm a firm believer in their magical powers ☺️
Hi I have a 20 gallon tank with two almonds leaves. 1 big and the other medium. I have hard water here but I still worry about getting nerite snails. Since almond leaves drop the ph will it be to safe for nerite snails. I have betta and a few guppies thus why i been ttying to lower the ph.
I am thinking about using them. But idk if I can because of the fish I have.
My 1.5 has 15ish neocaradena shrimp, and a black mollie fry. Ph of 6.6 the baby was born in that same ph so he should be okay if it gets a bit lower. I know fish prefer the ph they were born in. So a farm raised fish may not be used to the ph of there natural habitat.
In my 10g aquarium I have a betta with 3 dwarf crawfish. Also a ph of 6.6. I believe I can use the leaves in there.
In my 20g tank I have 2 black mollies (the parents to the baby in the 1.5g) 4 emeber tetras, 5 zebra danio, 6 neon tetras, about 15 neocaradena shrimp and 7 rams horn snails.
I give egg shells to the snails to strengthen there shells. So far they are fine with out the egg shell though. Even though the ph is 6.6.
Also what other products will work for black water but dont lower ph
No I have not use Indian almond leaves but now I want to try them
Yesss Josiah 🙂 You can pick them up at almost any aquarium, but I bought mine online. It was cheaper that way! Let me know if you pick some up and like them 😄
I use in some of My aquariums
Love that 😄
Hi! love your video. i have two catappa leaves in my bettas 10 gallon. (both are male and are separated by a divider.) each betta has a leaf. i have had them in for about a month now and they havent turned the water brown yet. they are at the bottom of the tank but so far there hasnt been much of a water color change. am i doing something wrong?
They may be bad quality ones. Even throwing 1 in my 10 gallon tank really yellowed up the water in about a day.
I probably wouldn't try these, as I my last Betta lived close to 5 years without. the other thing is, when you do your water changes, do you have a bucket with these leaves in for a couple of days, or do you just use the good old hard tap water? which might shock the fish going from hard to soft and soft to hard water again. Like your video's by the way 🙂
Jackfruit leaves also good for keep your fish and shrimp healthy and happy !!!!
Really? ☺ Never heard that. I'll have to give it a try! Thank you 🐬💙
What up with the Fireball in the background?!😅😂
Use it for my betta, it enhance their color
Hey dude i wanana ask a qs almond leaves is good for other fishes like goldfish tetra.... etc🌚
If we don't have this leaf then which leaf we can use ..and which time we remove the leaf
I just started using it in my L134 breeding tank

What leaves are they called?
we got tons of trees around here... In INDIA
I use them because I have hard water but my water in my tank winds up higher than the gh from my tap and still have high gh in my tank... 🤔
Are Indian almond leaves good for guppies? I am trying to breed guppies.
chili rasboras actually like soft water
I have a black water setup, and all I ever hear from people is “why is it DiRtY???” So annoying🙄
Alyssa! 😊 Point me in their direction, I'll gettem'.
Like how dare us care about the colour of our water more than our fish? And I even love the look 😠
@@JillsFishRoom I too love the look of backwater, and it helps with health sometimes.But Nooooooooo people just can’t wrap their tiny little brains around the fact that these are natural conditions
Is this okay to put on my gold fish?
😍♥️
Love u 🤟
Are these good to use with bristlenose plecos?
Hii 😄 Yes! Plecos love to munch on the leaves. Definitely get some 🙂
Use jack fruit leaves also. It's too work if u don't get indian almond leaves 😊
Are they safe for turtles?
Hi Jill!
I reckon that’s why my fish might be dying...
Do tetras like softer water? I know they prefer it for breeding!
🎶 Andyyy 🎶 hello my good friend.
Oh no, still fishie problems? 😭 Tbh I don't think ph is a HUGE deal. A higher or lower ph can cause stress but usually it won't kill a fish (I think).
Maybe your tank is too hot or too cold? That silent killer got me when I first started keeping fish. 😔😔
Andy Kenny I can definitely help you with the tetra situation as I do keep tetras I would like to help you if I can

From what I understand you can use oak leaves and get the exact same properties. You just have to be sure they have no pesticides or have been chemically treated.
Totally. And where I live at least, things like oak leaves are easier to find! The pesticides are the scary part 😨
Is there such thing as putting too many leaves in your tank? Or stay with the recommended sizes for tank size ?
Hi James :) I actually don't think so. Another subscriber told me they throw like 5 in a small tank. I guess it would depend if your fish likes soft water!
@@JillsFishRoom well it’s my beta and I thought that was the case for bettas he’s my first one.
Hi im new to fish keeping had tank set up 3 months got guppys & tetras i did 50 % water change now the water is cloudy please help.ps love your channel 🐠
Hi Stephen :) Is the cloud white? If so, I would say it's probably just a bacterial bloom and will go away in a day or two. Nothing to be worried about!
Fish keeping can seem scary sometimes but it'll be a piece of cake soon 😄 Thank you!
@@JillsFishRoom yes jill its cloudy white my fish seem happy no losses yet.Thank you so much for replying it as put me at ease alot,ps your channel is the best.
I'm here to help! ☺️ Happy your fish are okay, they'll be fine I'm sure.

Totally, Arthur 😸 When I first got into the hobby, I thought black water tanks looked too intense. They've really grown on me now. The orange tinge is beautiful, and I especially love knowing that my fish like it 😊
