Advantages

Banana leaves release tannin and other elements into the water which improves fish health and lowers PH levels. Small fish like to hide and spend a lot of time in and around these leaves!

When breeding shrimp, the leaves have a positive effect on the breeding results. Due to the antifungal effect, eggs are less likely to become moldy. The leaves can also be used for decorative purposes.

Usage

We recommend 1 leaf per 5 liters of aquarium water. The leaves color the water so the more leaves you add the darker the water. After 48 to 72 hours the leaves will sink to the bottom. The operation time is between 2 to 3 weeks, after that they will slowly decay. Shrimp, lobsters and snails will eat the leaves which promotes their natural diet. Decayed leaves can eventually be removed.
