Catappa wood
General information about the Catappa wood
Approx. 15 cm long
Catappa Bark Tubes add a rugged, natural touch to your aquarium or terrarium. This wood comes from the sea almond tree (Terminalia catappa) and is known for its robust texture and versatility.
The bark can serve as a decorative background, but also as a safe hiding and climbing area for fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Each tube is unique in shape and texture, giving your tank a truly natural look.
What does Catappa Bark do in your tank?
Catappa Bark slowly releases tannins that give your water a light tea color and create a healthy environment. In terrariums, it stimulates natural behavior: animals can climb on it, hide, and explore their territory. This creates a safe and enriching habitat.
