Indian Catappa Seed Pods – Natural Botanical for Aquariums, Terrariums, and Paludariums (3-Pack or 5-Pack)

Add natural texture, tannins, and function to your aquascape or terrarium with our Indian Catappa Seed Pods—a versatile botanical that enhances both aesthetics and habitat health. Sourced from the same trees that produce Indian Almond Leaves, these seed pods are dense, durable, and break down slowly, making them an excellent long-lasting addition to any freshwater or high-humidity setup.

Available in a convenient 3-pack or 5-pack, each pod is thoroughly cleaned and ready to use in aquariums, paludariums, and terrariums.

Why We Love Them:

• Natural Aesthetic – Unique shape and warm brown tones create an authentic, nature-inspired environment.
• Tannin-Rich – Slowly releases tannins that help condition water and encourage natural behaviors.
• Biofilm Booster – Supports the growth of beneficial biofilm for grazing species like shrimp and plecos.
• Multi-Environment Use – Great for aquariums, terrariums, and paludariums alike.

Loved by Aquatic & Land-Dwelling Species:

Perfect for fish like bettas, rasboras, gouramis, tetras, and dwarf cichlids, as well as inverts like shrimp, plecos, snails, vampire crabs, isopods, and dart frogs. Provides natural shelter, foraging zones, and microhabitats across all environments.

Preparation Instructions:

We recommend rinsing and boiling for 15–30 minutes before use to help them sink and reduce initial tannin release. Pods may continue releasing tannins gradually over several weeks.

Size & Quantity Options:

• 3-Pack – Great for nano tanks or smaller enclosures
• 5-Pack – Ideal for mid-size to large enclosures or aquascapes

Each pod measures approximately 2–3 inches in length. As a natural item, size and shape will vary slightly.
