General information about the Jackfruit leaf
Jackfruit leaf is a subtle yet powerful addition to your aquarium. Small in size, but with a big impact: it releases tannins, creates hiding places, and adds a natural ambiance, as if your fish are swimming in the tropics.
Perfect for shrimp and fish enthusiasts who want to give their aquarium that little bit extra with a botanic that is both decorative and beneficial to the ecosystem.
What does the Jackfruit leaf do in your aquarium?
Jackfruit leaves slowly release healthy compounds that make your water more natural. They lower the pH slightly and impart a light tea color. Shrimp and fish use the leaves as shelter and enjoy nibbling on the biofilm that forms on them.
Advantages
- 🍂 Natural and decorative
- 💧 Releases tannins for healthier water
