Adding Shrimp leaves to their tank mimics their original habitat and gives them the privacy for reproducing. A must-have for all shrimp breeders, these provide a secure shelter for grown up shrimps and a convenient hiding spot for baby shrimps. - Delicious Treat for Your Shrimps --- A few days after you place the shrimp leaves in the tank, they will slowly settle down to the bottom. As they settle, they soften on which shrimp love to graze on. This food provides a balanced diet and aids in building your shrimp’s system. Shrimp love this delicious treat and will eat the leaves right down to the skeleton. - Raw Shrimp Leaves --- For the most beneficial addition to your shrimp tank, the SunGrow Shrimp Leaves are a good choice. While products available in the market may or may not be authentic, the medium catappa leaves are unprocessed. They vary in size with lengths of 4-7” (10-18 cm). If you have a smaller tank or varying size tanks, you can tear up the larger leaves into smaller pieces. - A Must-Have for Shrimp Keepers --- These Indian Almond leaves are essential in keeping your shrimp happy. These leaves have beneficial properties that help in calming your shrimp (particularly important if you are introducing more or moving them). - Handpicked for Optimum Quality --- If you pick the leaves outside, you cannot be sure of the quality they might have. The catappa leaves are carefully selected for authenticity. PREPARATION: Before placing the product in the aquarium, rinse before use, even after boiling or soaking. A "post-boil soak" in fresh water is a recommended step, too. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07T311ZCF | | Allergen Information | Allergen-Free | | Best Sellers Rank | 11,276 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 179 in Aquarium Fish Food | | Brand Name | SunGrow | | Country Of Origin | Malaysia | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (3,003) | | Included Components | Not available | | Item Form | Leaves | | Item Weight | 9.8 Grams | | Liquid Volume | 5 Gallons | | Manufacturer | Luffy Pets Collection | | Manufacturer Part Number | SL01 | | Model Number | CL01 | | Target Species | Shrimp | | UPC | 735899172261 | | Unit Count | 10.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SunGrow - **Item form:** Leaves - **Item weight:** 9.8 Grams - **Liquid volume:** 5 Gallons - **Unit count:** 10.0 count ## Images ![SunGrow Medium Shrimp Indian Almond Catappa Leaves, Provide Shelter and Food in Fish Aquarium Tank, Additional Source, Perfect for Breeding and Hiding (Medium (5", 10 Leaves)) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+YknOVCeL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How should I prepare the leaves before using?** A: Wash in tap water first, boil for 10 minutes using fresh or bottled water, you can also soak for 30 minutes or more in bottled water. Ensure the leaves are properly cooled before introducing them into your aquarium. **Q: Do Catappa leaves change the water color?** A: Yes, they do. The leaves release tannins, which can cause the water to turn slightly brownish or yellowish. This is entirely normal and safe for the fish. In fact, many fish species, like bettas, enjoy and thrive in this good, tinted environment. **Q: How long do Catappa leaves last in the aquarium?** A: The leaves will gradually break down over time as they release their beneficial compounds. They can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Once they have disintegrated, you can replace them with fresh leaves. **Q: Are these leaves only for Shrimps?** A: No, even snails and fish love Catappa leaves. **Q: Can these leaves be used with other aquarium additives like medications or fertilizers?** A: It is best to avoid using medications or other additives simultaneously or take off the leaves temporarily during any treatment. Tannins and other substances released by the leaves might interfere with the effectiveness of certain medications. ## Frequently Bought Together - SunGrow Catappa Indian Almond Leaves for Shrimp Aquariums, 4-7 Inches Long Leaf (10 Pcs), Lowers Your Tank's pH and Pet Stress, Creates Better Habitat Environment - SunGrow Shrimp Rocks, Calcium, Magnesium Rocks for Crayfish, Hermit Crab, Snails, Crustacean Care, Aquarium Decor for Crystal Red, Amano and Ghost Shrimps, Nano Tank Accessories, Fish Tank Supplies - SunGrow Cholla Wood, 5” Climbing Logs, Chew Toy, Aquarium Fish, Snail, and Shrimp Driftwood, Tropical Freshwater Fish DΓ©cor, Adds Raw Beauty, 3 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/179269077-sungrow-medium-shrimp-indian-almond-catappa-leaves-provide-shelter-food](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/179269077-sungrow-medium-shrimp-indian-almond-catappa-leaves-provide-shelter-food) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
