Indian almond leaves come from the Terminalia catappa tree. The leaf of this tree is especially known for its ability to act as a natural medicine and aquarium water conditioner for betta fish and shrimp tanks when the leaf has emerged in water for extended periods of time. Indian almond leaves are said to help combat fungus and bacterial problems like fin rot and can further help prevent fish from getting stressed by mimicking the water they are naturally found in.
The Terminalia catappa tree grows throughout the tropical regions of Asia, Australia, and Africa. As we’ll discuss later, the leaves fall from the tree and into the water. Tannins then leach out of the leaves into the water, adding hues of yellow and brown while lowering the pH. Indian almond leaves are usually harvested by simply picking them up off the ground leaf by leaf. After drying them properly, the leaves can then be added into the water or the tank.
Features & Further Details
1. Improve the quality of your aquarium water
Three Indian almond leaves sitting under water in aquarium improving water quality. 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. 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
2. 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. It’s possible the tannins and flavonoids in Indian almond leaves are responsible for fish healing faster.
3. A leafy location for your fish to spawn

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.
4. Food and protection for fry (baby fish)
Indian almond leaves are the gift that keeps giving, even once your fish have hatched. Many fish keepers add Indian almond leaves to fry tanks – an aquarium that is set aside just for baby fish. First, the leaves give fry a place to hide, allowing them to feel safe. Sure, there are no predators in your fry tank, but your tiny fish don’t know that. As the Indian almond leaves begin to break down, microorganisms called infusoria appear and feed on the leaf.
