The Terminalia catappa is a large tropical tree in the leadwood tree family, it commonly grows mainly in the tropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Australia.
This tree is what produces the Indian Almond leaf. It goes by many different names, however in the aquarium hobby we have grown to call it the Indian Almond leaf.
There is really no specific way of using ketapang leaves for your fish.
Basically, you just need to keep any of the leaves in the water and you will see the water turns yellowish.
When this happens, it means the properties of the leaf have already been released, and they are already working in the tank.
How much should you use then?
How much to use is a more personal choice with some wanting a darker and more in the tank with some just wanting a pinch - how your fish react is one of the best ways to measure.
If I discover my fish is not feeling well and its fins are torn, then I will crumble a larger portion of the leaf with my hand and dump it in the tank.
That way, the properties will release much faster than usual.
If you have a large tank, you can place one whole piece of leaf together with the fish, be it betta, tetras or even arowana.
Breed bettas, you will also need to place a whole piece of leaf on the surface of the water and let it float so that the male betta can make bubble nest when he is ready.
