With Catappa bark, you can care for fish, shrimp, and other aquarium inhabitants naturally. Catappa (also known as Ketapang, Almond, Terminalia, or sea almond bark) also serves as a water purifier for freshwater aquariums and has the same effect as Catappa leaves.
The substances in Catappa bark stimulate the compression of the mucous membrane, resulting in better protection of the organism and more beautiful fish colors. Additionally, it contributes to well-being and vitality, and the fish will use it as a hiding place or a snack.
When placed in the aquarium, they will slowly break down, releasing tannins that yellow or brown the water. These can reduce the water's pH and kill bacteria and fungi, which is useful for vulnerable fish. The dark color of the water reduces light and mimics the natural environment of many fish, which can help reduce stress.
It also makes a beautiful decoration for the aquarium and terrarium. The bark does not need processing to be used. The dry barks sink after a few days (1-2) and will gradually fill with water and eventually sink to the bottom. Then the active substances will be released. This process lasts five to six weeks, after which you can leave it in the aquarium.
