    What are Indian almond leaves?
    In aquarium use, Indian almond leaves refer to the dried leaves of the Terminally catappa tree – a tree that is native to Southeast Asia and has been used in traditional medicine there for centuries. Once dried, they are ready to be used in aquariums.
    You might also hear Indian almond leaf shortened to IAL or referred to as catappa leaves, named after the tree it comes from.

    Good leaves should be Red, Yellow and brown color only. Indian almond leaves must be without fungus spot because fungus spot can tell us that Indian almond leaves fall for long time before collect.
    In South East Asia we use Ketapang leaf Catappa Indian almond leaf in the multiple benefit.
    Improve the quality of your aquarium water
    When added to your aquarium, an Indian almond leaf will gradually break down. And as it does, it releases tannic acid, tannins and other substances into your aquarium.
    As the tannic acid is released, it lowers the pH of your water. If you want a natural solution to reduce the pH levels in your aquarium, Indian almond leaf helps to achieve just that.
    A study has also found that Indian almond leaves can significantly decrease water hardness (GH), which can benefit those who use hard water in their aquariums.
    Okay, but what good is that for your aquarium?
    Well, the water out of your faucet probably doesn’t match the ideal conditions of the fish you keep.
    Indian almond leaves change the water so that it more closely resembles the habitat of your fish, particularly those from Southeast Asia and South America.
    Fish that benefit from Indian almond leaves include:
    Angelfish
    Barbs
    Betta
    Cory catfish
    Discus
    Gouramis
    Killifish
    Platies
    Rasboras
    Tetra
    Natural medication for skin problems
    Many aquarists swear by Indian almond leaf as a natural remedy for diseases or injury involving their fish’s skin or rather their scales.
    It is believed the tannins released by Indian almond leaves kill bacteria, fungus and viruses, allowing an injured fish to heal much quicker.
    It is even suggested that Indian almond leaf might be a better solution than antibiotics and other medications when fighting bacteria and fungus in commercial fish farms.
    In Southeast Asia, many betta keepers add an Indian almond leaf to their betta’s water because they believe that it toughens their fish’s skin and makes them better for fighting. They also use it to help a fish heal after a fight.
    While there have been no studies that prove Indian almond leaf helps toughen betta skin, there is strong anecdotal evidence to suggest it does.
    The argument for Indian almond leaves as a medication for fish, however, is a little more compelling…
    You see, Indian almond leaves contain flavonoids.
    I won’t bore you with all the details, but a flavonoid is essentially what gives fruits and vegetables their color.
    But it’s one flavonoid in particular that we are interested in – quercetin. And, Indian almond leaves have lots of it.
    Quercetin has been shown to offer anti-inflammatory benefits to humans.
    Other studies show that tannins have anti-fungal properties.
    It’s possible the tannins and flavonoids in Indian almond leaves are responsible for fish healing faster.
    A leafy location for your fish to spawn
    Many fish release their eggs (spawn) on or underneath fallen leaves. This helps hide eggs from predators or from washing away.
    Discus and tetras prefer to spawn on leaves at the bottom of a waterway. Betta and gouramis, on the other hand, build bubble nests on leaves that float on the surface.
    Indian almond leaves also have another benefit to spawning, and it’s one I covered earlier.
    Many fish will only spawn under certain water conditions. And the reduced pH and water hardness may be exactly what is needed to trigger your fish to spawn.
