Indian Almond Leaves ( Terminalia Catappa ) are one of the best water conditioners to promote healing and breeding amongst fish. Indian Almond Leaves ( Terminalia Catappa ) are also known as Ketapang, Tropical Almond, Sea Almond, Seemandelbaumblatter or Catappa. Indian Almond Leaves are also very popular amongst fish keepers/breeders as a natural medication and water conditioner for their Aquariums. They are believed to aid the fish in a number of ways, they increase fertility, health and vigor. Reduce the Ph in the water, aid in the recovery of diseased / damaged fish (bacterial infections / fungal infections) and the tannin that is released from the Indian Almond Leaves also quickly colors the water.
Both the amateur and professional Aquarist also use Indian Almond Leaves to mimic the natural conditions of their fish in their aquarium. By simply adding Indian Almond Leaves ( IAL )-T-bags to your aquarium, will release compounds by the Indian Almond Leaf mixture which alter the chemistry of the water, making the aquarium more similar to the habitat from which their fish hails.
ABOUT US :
Once again, I wish you a very warm welcome to Bettawan. My name is Wan and I am from Thailand, my daughter's name is Min and my husband who is from the UK is called Jeff. We live in a little rice/sugarcane village in the middle of Thailand. We are surrounded by rice and sugarcane fields, mountains and jungle. We recently bought some land and built a small home / work area and a Dry shed where I store all the gathered leaves in raised bays to dry out along as storing other dry goods.
My father has always used Indian Almond Leaves ( Terminalia Catappa ), Teak Leaves ( Tectona Grandis ) and Banana leaf ( Musa Balbisiana ) for conditioning and well-being of his bettas, ever since he was introduced to them by a couple of his Thai betta breeder friends, from the village where we live.
Around our village, grow several Indian Almond Trees, that have been established there for many years and were we gather the leaves from. No insecticides whatsoever are used on the trees that we gather the freshly falling Indian Almond Leaves from. We never pick leaves from the tree, only the reddish/brown premium leaves that have falling. Also, on the land we bought, we planted several Indian Almond tree saplings, and all are doing really well. So, in the near future we will have our own supply of Indian almond Leaves ( Terminalia Catappa ) and will not have to venture out so far to gather.
MAKING INDIAN ALMOND LEAF TEA:
The Indian Almond T-Bags can be placed directly into the tank or put into the filtration system. Alternatively, you can put the Indian Almond Leaf T-Bags into a cup and make Indian Almond Leaf tea by adding boiling water and leave to cool. The water in the cup will have the appearance of strong tea by the time the water cools and can be added to your aquarium. This will leave a strong brown dye that will tan the water slightly (to a clear amber) and provide a very natural stream-bottom look to your aquarium.
