Catappa leaves have been widely used in aquariums in Asian countries for a long time already. Owners and breeders of various fish and animals such as fighting fish, discus, shrimp, crawfish and pecostomus use the leaves for the treatment of bacterial ailments and also to heal injuries of fish such as bites or transportation wounds. The risk of wound infections is tremendously decreased when catappa leaves are being used. The mucous membranes are strengthened.
When transporting fish, it is strongly recommended to add catappa leaves or a small piece of catappa bark to the water that is used. This decreases the susceptibility and stress significantly which the animals experience from high concentrations of bacteria. When it comes to breeding, catappa leaves help promote the mating disposition of your fish and reduce spawn fungi.
