Natural Cocoa Leaves (Cocoa Leaves) for Aquariums – 12 Pieces

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.

Application recommendation

1. Preparation: We recommend briefly scalding the leaves with boiling water before planting. This disinfects them and helps them sink to the bottom more quickly.
2. Dosage: Add approximately 1-2 leaves per 50 liters of aquarium water. After about 2-4 weeks, new leaves can be added, while the old ones can remain in the tank as decoration or supplemental food.
3. Storage: Store in a dry place to maintain the full effectiveness of the active ingredients for months.
