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.

Hikari Medaka No-Mai Breed
Medaka No-Mai Breed from Hikari Hikari Med aka-No-Mai Breed is a specially developed food for medaka (Japanese rice fish) in the breeding phase. Thanks to its high energy density, targeted nutrients and probiotics, it supports spawning activity, the immune system and a high hatching rate. Advantages Breeding-optimized formula with high calorie density Contains Hikari-Germ™, a probiotic to support the immune system and digestion Semi-floating pellets that spread evenly over the water surface Contains polyunsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) & phospholipids to improve egg quality and hatchability Ideal for adult medaka, especially during the spawning phase Hikari Medaka-No-Mai Breed is a high performance breeder diet specially formulated to provide the best possible support for medaka in their reproductive phase. The pellets are designed to be semi-floating - they spread quickly over the water surface so that both strong and weakened females can eat more easily The combination of Hikari-Germ™ (probiotic) and a balanced mix of nutrients helps to strengthen the immune system while reducing waste formation. According to the manufacturer, the HUFA and phospholipids it contains contribute to an increased hatching rate and improved egg development. During cold days or high water temperatures, the amount of food should be reduced as the animals' metabolism reacts more slowly or sensitively. Zoo Roco tip Feed several small portions per day instead of one large one - this will keep the water cleaner and provide your medaka with an optimum supply of nutrients. Combine Medaka-No-Mai Breed with Medaka-No-Mai Next or Baby formulas as soon as young animals are present. If the tap water is hard, use decalcified or filtered water to protect the food pellets and water quality.Customers also searched for: Medaka food, food for rice fish, breeding food Medaka, Hikari Medaka, Hikari No-Mai, breeding food, fish breeding food Switzerland, food for Medaka, premium food Medaka

It is designed for aquariums from approx. 180 to 350 liters and is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater. One plus point is the square design: the filter is stable, can be placed in a corner to save space and offers a large filter volume. This allows you to tailor the filtration to your tank - whether mechanical (removal of suspended particles) or biological (stable water values thanks to bacterial cultures). The eXperience 350 is designed for everyday maintenance: Filter baskets with hinged handles work inside, which you can remove individually. This makes complete cleaning just as easy as intermediate cleaning if you only want to rinse out part of the media. Zoo-Roco tip If possible, clean filter media in aquarium water (not under hot tap water). This protects the beneficial bacteria. And: Use the stopcocks on the adapter consistently during every maintenance - this reduces dripping water and makes handling much more relaxed.
