Review: Works for fin rot on bettas - Giving this a 5 star review! Our betta had the beginning look of fin rot. I added 6 of these leaves, with dosed aquarium salt to his 5.5 gallon, and the fin rot is gone. The water didn’t turn as brown as I thought it would. There is no smell, and nothing to clean. Very easy, just threw in a bunch of these leaves and my sweet betta looks great after 24 hours! This is a good quality catappa leaf, though the leaves are small and you may want to add more than the amount recommended on the packaging. Made my betta healthy again without having to buy expensive medicine.
Review: Love! - Love what these leaves did to my tanks! I have 5 tanks, all but one would benefit from tannins and these were so affordable, and worked great so far. Just got them yesterday, but so far so good, I read other reviews of people not getting g the color payoff they wanted when just placing the leaves in the tank, so I chose to boil a small handful of leaves in some water for about 30 minutes, let it cool, then poured the water and the leaves into my tanks, they have STUNNING color and my fish already seem happier. Hoping these will help with fin rot in my bettas. Would definitely buy again.

## Features

- Give a peaceful home to your betta --- When fish are given a homely ambiance, they tend to grow stronger. By creating ideal water conditions, we assure that they can prosper. The Indian Almond leaves are considered to have beneficial properties and increase fish appetite.
- Have a breeding pet? Add catappa --- The tropical fishes create bubble nests using a floating leaf to anchor their bubbles. So, if your tank has a breeding tetra, guppy, platies, molly, cichlid or shrimps, just add these leaves and see them anchoring their eggs over IAL. That is a sight to behold.
- Benefits other fish and snails too --- The tea water has many advantages for fishes like tetra, discus, and goldfish. It is good for rasboras and many dwarf cichlids too. Apart from that, snail owners can benefit from the magical leaves. Giving your fish this ambience calms them down. It imparts color to them and makes their scales firmer.
- Smaller leaves, easier portion control --- Each packet contains 50 leaves measuring around 2-inches high which is a great value for money. Smaller Catappa leaves make for easier portion control and a good way to slowly introduce your pet to a new surrounding especially for smaller fishes in smaller tanks.
- Adds beauty to nano tanks, small bowls and jars --- The Catappa leaves from SunGrow are unprocessed so you know what goes into your tank. They look pretty in a nano tank and add aesthetic beauty to your planted tank. You may even add these in individual betta jars or bowls.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this ok and good for the fancy guppies and fry guppies? thanks**
A: NO!  Don't do it, I thought I'd try some for my guppies too, thinking about the healing properties it has for bettas & betta fry.  But instead I lost about 100 guppy fry and around 20 of my adults! After, (should have done this prior !!) I  Googled it & found that there is something in the leaves that poison them.  I just use tap water that's been sitting out for a few days, same room temp. NO Catappa leaves.

**Q: A couple of leaves in my 5.5-gal tank crashed the pH from 6.8 to 6.3 in less than 12 hours.  How can I use leaves without pH crashes?**
A: Hello, Decreasing pH is one of the benefits offered by SunGrow leaves. If you don't want to decrease it, I would recommend using less number of leaves,Some experts recommend boiling the leaves to decrease the effect of tannins. You can try that and see if it works for your tank.

**Q: I have a 10 gallon aquarium with top fin silenstream filter. How many leaves to drop in for 1 smaller goldfish ?**
A: You could drop in a handful. There’s really no limit since the worst that really happens is the water gets very yellow. Though with even a small goldfish in this size tank you’ll likely be changing it out a lot since goldfish need a much bigger space since they produce a lot of waste and grow quite quickly.

**Q: large or small indian almond leaves**
A: Depends on the size of your tank. I would by the large if your tank is over 12 gallons. These leaves are great. You can also break the larger ones as well. Hope this helps. :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Water color change
*by M***Y on October 25, 2025*

I love this product, and my betta does too! It does change the color of the water, but it perfectly balanced the levels in my tank and it doesn’t look dirty it looks natural. All I had to do was toss a couple in the top of my tank and within a couple minutes my tank was where it needed to be. So all in all they were easy to use, they are great quality, safe for my fish, and make the tank healthy. I will definitely be using this again and again.
