Hobby Catappa Bark 12pk

Leaves and bark of the Catappa have long been used in aquariums in Asian countries. The almond tree bark is much stronger in effect similar to that of the Indian almond leaves (Catappa leaves). The humin and tannin substances contained strengthen the mucous membrane of the fish and make it difficult to penetrate this protection. The bark pieces are also helpful in the propagation and rearing of your fish. It promotes the readiness of your fish. Even blue algae (cyanobacteria) are inhibited by the substances contained in the propagation. It is also worth noting that positive bacteria are proven not to be damaged for aquariums. It is highly recommended to add a small piece of Catappa Bark or our Catappa Leaves to the transport water. This greatly reduces the susceptibility and stress of the animals due to the high germ load. You can also treat your fresh water if you want to change water directly with our bark pieces. This helps to reduce stress on your fish. By releasing its humin and tannins, the almond bark creates a natural environment and increases the vitality and well-being of your aquarium inhabitants. It is beautiful that no tree has to suffer or die for the extraction of the bark.
