Product information "Banana leaves – 20 pieces – dried"

Banana leaves – natural care and decoration for aquariums


Banana 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 glance

  • Natural leaves for aquariums and shrimp tanks
  • Release tannins into the water
  • Can help to support a natural blackwater environment
  • Provide hiding places for small fish, shrimp, snails and crayfish
  • Used as grazing and feeding areas whilst decomposing
  • Naturally dried and untreated
  • Safe for fish, shrimp, crayfish and snails
  • Contents: 20 pieces


Usage

Use 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.

Catappa Leaves XL - 10 pieces
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 UsageThe leaves can be placed directly into the aquarium. They soak up water and sink to the bottom after some time. There they release their natural substances over several weeks. After about two to three weeks, a new leaf can be added if needed. The old leaves can remain in the aquarium, as they are readily grazed on by shrimp and other animals.Product detailsSize: approx. 21–40 cmContents: 10 piecesMaterial: dried leaves of the sea almond tree, Terminalia catappaSuitable for: freshwater aquariums, blackwater tanks, shrimp aquariums and terrariumsZoo Roco Tip: Catappa Leaves XL can be ideally combined with alder cones, lotus pods, cholla wood or coconut shells.

Animals like to use the coconut flowers as a hiding place, retreat or climbing element, which reduces stress and promotes natural behaviour. In addition to the visual enhancement, coconut panicles also offer functional benefits: they contain valuable fibre as well as minerals, tannins and humic substances, which can have a positive effect on the water quality and the health of the animals. In aquariums in particular, they contribute to a natural environment and offer shrimps, fish and catfish ideal hiding places. In terrariums, aviaries or rodent enclosures, they serve as an activity material and structuring element. Zoo Roco Tip Rinse the coconut panicle briefly with warm water before use or soak it for a few hours to allow it to fully develop.
