Products of CeramicNature
The story of CeramicNature begins with a Hobby: that got out of hand. What started as a small 60-litre tropical aquarium grew into 30 large aquariums intended for breeding L-Nile catfish.
After years of caring for various tropical fish, we opened an online shop selling spawning caves for egg-laying. Following several years in this business, Ceramic Nature was founded at the end of 2016.
We recognised a market opportunity for our realistic ceramic decorations, and so the company name ‘ CeramicNature ’ was born. Our aim is to supply our partners worldwide with realistic decorations of the highest quality.
As well as supplying high-quality products, we are deeply committed to supporting our partners with the best possible service. As a team, we are here for you five days a week, listening to your needs and providing our partners with the tools they need to sell our products successfully. The success of our partners is our top priority.
CeramicNature now offers a wide range of decorations, backdrops, natural products and nutrients for aquariums, terrariums and small rodents.
We have also begun producing bespoke versions of our products. The best example of this is our customised 3D aquarium backdrops.

Mangrove A 42x27x58cm

Catappa Leaves XL - 10 pieces
CHF 6.90
Catappa Leaves XL – natural sea almond tree leaves for aquariums and terrariumsCatappa Leaves XL are large, dried leaves of the sea almond tree and are particularly popular in aquariums with tropical fish, shrimp and blackwater species. In water, the leaves release natural tannins and humic substances slowly, which may cause the aquarium water to take on a slightly yellowish to brownish tint.This natural colouring diffuses the light and mimics the habitat of many tropical fish species.
As the leaves slowly decompose, they create valuable grazing areas for shrimp, catfish and other aquarium inhabitants. At the same time, the large leaves provide natural cover and places of refuge. Catappa leaves can also be used decoratively in terrariums and serve as hiding places for small animals or as ground decoration.
Catappa leaves are a popular natural product for natural-looking aquariums, blackwater setups and biotope tanks. When stored dry, they have a very long shelf life and are easy to use.Advantages at a glanceLarge Catappa leaves with a length of 21–40 cmRelease natural tannins and humic substancesSupport a natural blackwater appearanceCan promote the well-being of fishProvide grazing areas for shrimp and catfishAlso suitable as decoration and hiding place in the terrarium100 % natural product

Banana leaves – 20 pieces – dried
CHF 4.90
Banana leaves – natural care and decoration for aquariumsBanana leaves are a natural and decorative addition to freshwater aquariums. They are particularly suitable for shrimp aquariums, blackwater setups and naturally themed tanks. Once in the water, the dried leaves slowly release tannins, helping to create a natural aquarium environment.
The leaves provide small fish, shrimp, snails and crabs with sheltered areas to hide in. As they gradually decompose, they create valuable grazing areas and a natural food source for shrimp and snails. Banana leaves are also popular in shrimp breeding, as they provide the animals with places to retreat to and additional surfaces for grazing.Banana leaves are an interesting alternative or addition to sea almond leaves and can be combined very well with other natural materials such as catappa bark, coconut shells, lotus pods or cholla wood.Advantages at a glanceNatural leaves for aquariums and shrimp tanksRelease tannins into the waterCan help to support a natural blackwater environmentProvide hiding places for small fish, shrimp, snails and crayfishUsed as grazing and feeding areas whilst decomposingNaturally dried and untreatedSafe for fish, shrimp, crayfish and snailsContents: 20 piecesUsageUse approximately 1 leaf per 5 litres of aquarium water.

Combine banana leaves with catappa leaves, coconut shells or moss-covered stones. This will create a natural arrangement with plenty of hiding places, foraging areas and a particularly harmonious look.
