They provide a convenient way to add tannins and organic compounds to freshwater aquariums while helping replicate the natural conditions preferred by bettas, shrimp, and other aquarium inhabitants. As the tea bags release their extract, they gently tint the water and can help maintain a lower pH environment similar to habitats with acidic water and abundant leaf litter.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;margin:16px 0 6px 0;\"\u003eFeatures of Seachem Catappa Tea Bags\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from Indian Almond Tree leaves for a natural botanical aquarium effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps replicate tannin-rich environments for bettas, shrimp, and compatible freshwater fish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a source of tannins and other organic compounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGently tints aquarium water to create a natural blackwater-style appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan aid in maintaining a lower pH when used carefully and monitored properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvenient tea bag format helps reduce loose leaf debris in the aquarium.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be prepared as an extract or used in an external filter for a time-release effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;margin:16px 0 6px 0;\"\u003eSeachem Catappa Tea Bags Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct: Seachem Catappa Tea Bags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage Size: 12 Pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBotanical Source: Indian Almond Tree leaves, Terminalia catappa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary Use: Tannin and organic compound source for freshwater aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable For: Bettas, shrimp, and other aquarium inhabitants that benefit from tannin-rich conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffect: Lowers pH and gently tints water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal Filter Use: 1 bag per 40 L \/ 10 US gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 000116000062\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImportant Note: Not for human consumption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;margin:16px 0 6px 0;\"\u003eDirections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBoil one bag in 1 liter \/ 1 US quart of water for 10 minutes or until the desired extract colour is reached. Let the extract cool to aquarium temperature, then pour the amount needed directly into the aquarium or mix it with prepared water for water changes. When using the extract for the first time, add it gradually over 2 to 3 days and monitor pH to ensure it remains suitable for the aquarium inhabitants. Alternatively, place 1 bag per 40 L \/ 10 US gallons in an external filter, such as a Seachem Tidal Filter, for a time-release effect. Monitor pH and remove the bag once the desired tint or pH level is reached. Chemical filtration media such as activated carbon can remove compounds provided by Catappa Tea Bags.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;margin:16px 0 6px 0;\"\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e12 Seachem Catappa Tea Bags\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Seachem Laboratories","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43438415609946,"sku":"SC-CATTB012","price":9.1,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/1636\/7450\/files\/seachem-catappa-tea-bags-1.jpg?v=1780682144","url":"https:\/\/jlaquatics.com\/products\/seachem-catappa-tea-bags-12-pack","provider":"J\u0026L Aquatics Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
