Jack Fruit
Size: 12-19cm
Contents: -
Jack fruit leaves are a natural food source for shrimp, crayfish, snails, and L numbers.
Benefits
- Stress relieving.
- Supports the biofilm.
- Slightly lowers the pH level.
These leaves are part of the natural habitat and provide a good biofilm (a layer of microorganisms), are slightly pH lowering, and stress reducing. Multiple leaves quickly create a tropical impression and offer a nice place for fish to hide and look for food. Combine them with our decorations such as logs, catfish caves, or horseheads to ensure they have plenty of retreat options.
Use
Rinse the leaves well before use and boil them briefly (5 to 15 minutes) to ensure they sink faster. Add 2 to 3 leaves per 40 liters of aquarium water. The leaves will tint the water brown and last for about two months.
Fact
Jackfruit leaves come from the Artocarpus heterophyllus, a tropical tree native to parts of Southeast Asia.
