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.
For the safety of our animals, we only ship live fish, crabs, and select other inverts exclusively via UPS 1 Day Air. If your order contains this item, you will only see UPS 1 Day Air as a shipping option during checkout. If other items are in your cart that can ship with 2 day or standard shipping options the only shipping method you can still select is UPS 1 Day Air.
UPS 1 Day is a description of the duration of time a shipment will spend in transit once it has been shipped. This does not guarantee the package will be shipped the same or next day from which the order was placed.
Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
