Dried jackfruit leaves from Sri Lanka (Artocarpus heterophyllus), 12 pieces per pack.
A pure natural product, ideal as natural decoration and hiding place for aquariums and terrariums. In water the leaves may release tannins, which tint the water slightly brown and lower the pH a little. Shrimp and catfish like to graze on soaked leaves and on the film that grows on them.
Usage: rinse the leaves briefly and place them in the tank. They float at first and sink on their own after a while. Replace or remove them after a few weeks, when they get soft.
Note: not a food substitute, not for consumption. Size, shape and colour vary naturally.
You see a tank, but have no idea where to start? We’re here to help with a variety of ideas so you can get straight to setting it up when our aquarium arrives.
With the right selection of aquatic plants, you can also make small aquariums appear significantly larger. For small aquariums, we also recommend using finer plants. Rotala or Ludwigia species are suitable as stem plants for the background here. This prevents the tank from looking overcrowded. A larger-leaved eye-catcher is allowed to introduce a different leaf shape.
Small aquariums can be beautifully landscaped with a small rock formation and suitable small roots. They should be planted predominantly with fine-leaved plants such as compact Anubias, Cryptocorynes, or various mosses. Fine stem plants or needle leeks are also a good option.
Tall aquariums offer a major advantage in terms of overall design flexibility. Larger roots and broad-leaved aquatic plants such as Java fern can be used here. A classic Vallisneria spiralis comes into its own in the background, as does a Ludwigia. The foreground can be landscaped with Monte Carlo pearlwort, cryptocorynes, needle moss, dwarf sword plants or Staurogyne repens.
Shallow aquariums are ideal for recreating a great underwater stream. Fine sand and many round river stones of different sizes can be used to create a natural structure. At the same time, hardy, low-growing aquatic plants such as Cryptocoryne, dwarf sword plants, or Brazilian grass provide optimal planting for such shallow aquariums. When properly set up, these tanks are ideal for catfish and shrimp, which do not necessarily require height.
