Banana leaves, 12 pieces

Dried banana leaves (12 pieces) – Natural superfood & gentle protection

Bring the vitality of the tropics to your aquarium! Our dried banana leaves ( Musa sp. ) are the secret weapon for professional breeders and hobby aquarists. They offer a unique combination of natural water conditioning and a valuable food supplement, especially loved by shrimp and crayfish.

Gentle care for sensitive residents

Compared to other types of leaves, banana leaves release their nutrients particularly gently. They are ideal for aquariums where water parameters (such as pH) need to remain stable, but the beneficial effects of humic substances are still desired.

• Perfectly portioned: The 12-piece unit is ideal for regular feeding or for owners of multiple nano aquariums.

Application & Dosage

Here's how to easily harness the power of banana leaves:

1. Dosage: 1 to 2 leaf pieces per approx. 30–50 liters of water.
2. Preparation: Briefly scald with hot water so that the leaves sink faster and the fibers become softer.
3. Disposition: The leaves can remain in the aquarium until they have been completely consumed by the shrimp or snails.
