Create a natural blackwater biotope and promote the health of your aquarium inhabitants with our hand-picked cocoa leaves . These dried leaves of the cocoa tree ( Theobroma cacao ) are an excellent addition to any aquarium that aims to provide a natural habitat for invertebrates such as shrimp and crayfish, as well as ornamental fish.
Why cocoa leaves are essential in your aquarium:
Cocoa leaves are known in aquariums for their robustness and valuable nutrients. They decompose significantly more slowly than conventional leaves, thus offering long-lasting benefits.
- Healing power from nature: Like Indian almond leaves, cocoa leaves release important tannins and humic substances. These have a mild antibacterial and antifungal effect and strengthen the immune system of your fish.
- Protection & Retreat: The leaves serve as a natural shelter on the ground for shrimp offspring and bottom-dwelling fish such as armored catfish.
- Permanent grazing ground: A nutritious biofilm forms on the surface, which shrimp and snails graze on for hours. Because the leaves are thicker, they remain a food source for a very long time.
- Natural look: The dark coloring and distinctive shape of the leaves give your aquarium an authentic jungle look.
