Catappa Bark – A Natural Solution for Aquarium Health

12 pieces of Catappa Bark is a versatile and powerful natural product that enhances the health and vitality of your aquarium inhabitants. Widely used by aquarists for years, this bark from the Indian almond tree offers numerous benefits for fish, shrimp, and crustaceans. Whether you’re managing bacterial ailments, reducing stress during fish transport, or creating a more natural aquatic environment, Catappa Bark is an essential addition to your aquarium care routine.

Key Benefits of Catappa Bark

• Promotes Vitality and Health: Catappa Bark releases humic acids and tannins that strengthen fish mucous membranes, reducing the risk of infections.
• Bacterial and Fungal Protection: The natural compounds inhibit harmful bacteria and fungi while supporting beneficial bacterial growth in your aquarium.
• Improves Reproduction: Encourages mating behaviour and reduces fungi on fish eggs, enhancing breeding success.
• Stress Reduction: Ideal for use during water changes or fish transport, it decreases susceptibility to stress and bacterial exposure.
• Prevents Blue Algae Growth: The compounds in this Bark inhibit the growth of blue-green algae, contributing to a healthier aquatic ecosystem.

Why Use Catappa Bark in Your Aquarium?

This bark mimics the natural habitat of fish and shrimp by releasing beneficial humic acids and tannins, slightly lowering the pH and creating a more acidic, blackwater-like environment. This makes it especially effective for species like tetras, discus, and shrimp that thrive in these conditions. It also supports shrimp moulting and provides a natural hideout as the bark softens over time.

How to Use Catappa Bark

1. Prepare the Bark: Add a piece of bark directly to your aquarium. For faster activation, briefly immerse the bark in hot water before use.
2. Dosage: One piece of Catappa Bark is sufficient for approximately 100 litres of water and releases active ingredients over three weeks.
3. After Use: The used bark can remain in the aquarium as a grazing spot for shrimp or be replaced with a fresh piece.
