Aquatic Arts Tannin Tea Bags (Terminalia catappa) — Natural Tannins Without Debris

Experience the benefits of natural tannins without the mess. The Aquatic Arts Tannin Tea Bags offer a clean and convenient way to add the water-conditioning power of Terminalia catappa (Indian Almond Leaves) to your aquarium. Each tea bag slowly releases beneficial tannins and humic substances that help create a healthy, balanced environment for fish, shrimp, and other freshwater inhabitants—without leaving behind loose debris or leaf litter.

Perfect for aquarists who appreciate the beauty and function of blackwater conditions, these tea bags provide a gentle amber tint that soothes fish, enhances coloration, and supports natural behaviors such as breeding and foraging.

Features We Love:

• Natural Tannins, No Mess: Enjoy the conditioning power of Indian Almond Leaves without floating debris or disintegrating leaf material.
• Supports Fish Health: Tannins and humic acids promote slime coat production, reduce stress, and mimic natural habitats.
• Enhances Color & Behavior: Deepens colors in fish and shrimp while encouraging more natural activity.
• Safe & Sustainable: Made with responsibly sourced Terminalia catappa and sealed in biodegradable, aquarium-safe sachets.

Usage:

Simply drop one Aquatic Arts Tannin Tea Bag into your aquarium or filter chamber. Each bag treats up to 20 gallons (75 liters) of water. For stronger coloration or softer water, use additional bags as desired. Replace every 2–3 weeks or during regular water changes.

Pro Tip: For smaller tanks or shrimp setups, start with a partial steep (5–10 minutes in a separate container) before adding the conditioned water to your tank for precise control over color and tannin strength.

Ideal For:

• Freshwater fish that thrive in soft, acidic, or blackwater environments (such as tetras, rasboras, bettas, and angelfish)

• Freshwater shrimp and snails that benefit from biofilm and humic-rich water

• Aquarists who love the aesthetic of naturally tinted aquascapes but prefer minimal maintenance
