Jackfruit Leaves – Natural Leaf Litter for Aquariums (12–19 cm) Bring a touch of nature to your aquarium with Jackfruit...
Bring a touch of nature to your aquarium with Jackfruit Leaves, a favorite natural food source and shelter for shrimp, crayfish, snails, and L-numbers (plecos). These tropical leaves are not just decoration—they actively support a healthy aquatic environment.
Jackfruit leaves promote biofilm growth, which is essential for shrimp and fry. They also help lower pH slightly, reduce stress in aquarium inhabitants, and create a more natural-looking aquascape. Their wide surface and texture make them ideal for grazing and hiding.
Combine them with our ceramic logs, breeding caves, or horsehead decorations to create the ultimate tropical retreat!
