Description

Easy-Life Catappa-X (Indian Almond Leaf Extract) 250ml — Concentrated almond-leaf tonic for bettas and shrimp

Dried Indian almond leaves are a long-standing blackwater remedy, but loose leaves cloud and stain the water, which is awkward in a display tank. Easy-Life Catappa-X (Indian Almond Leaf Extract) 250ml (SKU: 100910) is the 250 mL size of Easy-Life’s liquid concentrate of Terminalia catappa leaf extract, made by the Dutch manufacturer Easy-Life International BV, giving the same leaf without the loose debris or tannin staining. Easy-Life credits the extract with antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce stress and support general vitality in freshwater fish, and it does not discolour the water the way steeped leaves do. The 250 mL bottle is sized for a single betta, shrimp or small planted tank dosed over the long term.

The standard dose is 10 mL per 100 L of aquarium water, or 0.1 mL per litre, shaken well before use and added once every two weeks under normal conditions. Easy-Life recommends dosing more often in heavily stocked tanks or during high-maintenance periods, such as after a large water change or when new fish or shrimp are settling in. At the fortnightly rate, each 10 mL dose treats 100 L, so the 250 mL bottle holds twenty-five doses, enough to keep a single 100 L betta or shrimp tank on the standard schedule for close to a year, or to cover a smaller nano tank for considerably longer between bottles. Easy-Life names bettas, discus and shrimp as typical uses, with planted and shrimp-focused tanks the main setting for the product.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Betta and discus tanks: Species that benefit from blackwater-style conditioning without loose leaf litter.
• Shrimp tanks: Planted and shrimp-focused set-ups where Catappa-X is a routine additive.
• New arrivals settling in: More frequent dosing while fish or shrimp acclimate.
• Heavily stocked tanks: Set-ups that need the fortnightly dose stepped up.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• Standard dose: 10 mL per 100 L of aquarium water.
• Frequency: Once every two weeks under normal conditions.
• Before dosing: Shake the bottle well, since the extract can settle.
