Banana leaves – 20 pieces – dried

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. The leaves can be placed directly into the aquarium. They usually sink after 48–72 hours and remain effective for around 2–3 weeks. Afterwards, the remains can be removed or left in the aquarium as a natural food source for shrimp and snails. Zoo Roco Tip: 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.

What are mouthbrooders?

Mouthbrooders are fish or amphibians that take the fertilised eggs or hatched young into their mouths to protect them from predators.

There are two types of mouthbrooders: ovophilic and larvophilic. In ovophilic mouthbrooders, the "egg-loving" fish, the caring parent takes the eggs into its mouth during courtship. In contrast, larvophilic fish, the "larva-loving" fish, only take the hatched larvae into their mouths for brood care.

A distinction is also made as to which parent animal is responsible for caring for the fry. In the maternal care system it is the female, whereas in the paternal care system it is the male. If both parents are involved in brood care, this is referred to as biparental brood care.

Can a fertilised guppy have several litters?

Yes, once the guppies have been fertilised, they can store the sperm and use it for subsequent litters. This means that females that have been kept in an aquarium with males can still birth to young without males.

What is the mating organ called in livebearing toothcarps?

The mating organ of the males of most live bearing toothcarps is called the gonopodium. At the onset of sexual maturity, the male's anal fin transforms into the gonopodium. The anal fin of females resembles a triangle.
