Seachem Laboratories Catappa Water Conditioner Tea Bags Medium, 12 ct

Bring a little slice of the wild to your aquarium with Seachem Laboratories Catappa Water Conditioner Tea Bags, sold here as a convenient pack of 12. These tea bags come from Indian Almond Trees (Terminalia catappa), the same leaf litter your bettas, shrimp, and other aquarium inhabitants would encounter in nature. If you have ever wanted to recreate that tea-stained, blackwater look at home, this is an easy and tidy way to do it.

Why fishkeepers reach for Catappa tea bags:

• Each pack gives you 12 individual tea bags, so you have plenty on hand for ongoing tank maintenance.
• The bag format keeps your tank tidier than loose leaves, with no scattered litter to fish out later.
• Sourced from genuine Indian Almond Trees (Terminalia catappa), the same botanical aquarists trust for natural conditioning.
• Added to your aquarium, they release tannins and other organic compounds into the water.
• The brand notes these compounds aid in maintaining a lower pH, giving you gentler control over your water chemistry.
• They gently tint the water, creating the warm, amber blackwater appearance many keepers love.
• These conditions mimic habitats with acidic water and abundant leaf litter, helping replicate a natural environment.
• A thoughtful choice for bettas, shrimp, and other inhabitants that thrive in softer, more natural water.
• As the catappa leaves decay, beneficial micro-organisms grow on the leaf surface.
• That microbial growth becomes a natural source of food for shrimp, snails, and newly-hatched fish.

Whether you are setting up a betta sanctuary or a busy shrimp colony, these Catappa tea bags help replicate the kind of acidic, leaf-littered water your aquarium inhabitants are built for. Drop one in, watch the water take on its natural tint, and let the tank find a more authentic rhythm. With 12 bags to a pack, you can keep that natural look going season after season. It is a simple, hands-off way to give your little swimmers an environment that feels a lot more like home.
