Description

Easy-Life Catappa-X (Indian Almond Leaf Extract) 500ml — Mid-size bottle for regular dosing across several tanks

A fishroom running a few betta or shrimp tanks side by side goes through almond-leaf conditioner faster than a single display, and dried leaves are hard to dose consistently across more than one tank. Easy-Life Catappa-X (Indian Almond Leaf Extract) 500ml (SKU: 100911) is the 500 mL size of Easy-Life’s liquid concentrate of Terminalia catappa leaf extract from the Dutch manufacturer Easy-Life International BV, giving a measurable dose without the mess of loose leaf litter. Easy-Life credits the extract with antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that support stressed or recovering fish, and because it is a liquid rather than steeped leaves it does not discolour the water. The 500 mL bottle suits more regular dosing or a couple of tanks run from the one bottle, which the maker notes as ideal for mid-sized tanks or set-ups needing more frequent attention.

The standard dose is 10 mL per 100 L of aquarium water, or 0.1 mL per litre, shaken well before use and applied once every two weeks under normal conditions, stepped up in heavily stocked tanks or during busier maintenance periods. At the fortnightly rate, each 10 mL dose covers 100 L, so the 500 mL bottle holds fifty doses in total, enough for a single 100 L tank on the standard schedule for close to two years, or for two or three smaller betta and shrimp tanks to be dosed from the same bottle for a year or more. Easy-Life names bettas, discus and shrimp as the typical fish kept with Catappa-X, and the product is aimed squarely at planted and shrimp-focused tanks.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Multiple small tanks: A 500 mL bottle sized to dose two or three betta or shrimp tanks.
• Discus and shrimp keeping: Species that benefit from ongoing blackwater-style conditioning.
• Recovery after stress: Fish settling in after transport, treatment or a tank move.
• Busy maintenance schedules: Tanks that need the dose stepped up beyond the fortnightly standard.

Dosage & Application Guide

• Standard dose: 10 mL per 100 L of aquarium water.
• Frequency: Every two weeks, more often if the tank is heavily stocked.
• Before dosing: Shake well, since the extract can settle in the bottle.
• Across several tanks: Scale the 10 mL per 100 L rate to each tank’s volume.
