Jackfruit Leaves – Premium Aquarium Leaf Litter for Caridina Shrimp, Fry & Blackwater Aquascapes
Jackfruit Leaves are one of the best botanicals available for Caridina shrimp, prized for their rich nutritional value, exceptional biofilm production, and long-lasting structure. These leaves are a favorite among breeders who want to support strong colony growth, healthy molting, and steady natural feeding.
Key Benefits
-
Top-Tier for Caridina Shrimp
Jackfruit leaves are known for producing maximal biofilm growth, offering an abundant natural food source essential for Caridina shrimp, especially juveniles. -
High Natural Protein Content
As the leaf breaks down, it releases valuable plant proteins and nutrients, supporting healthy development and breeding success. -
Slow Breakdown = Long-Term Food
Their durable texture allows them to decompose gradually, giving shrimp continuous access to biofilm, microorganisms, and softened leaf material. -
Gentle Tannin Release
Helps create a stable, natural environment similar to the leaf-litter beds Caridina species thrive in. -
Natural Forest-Floor Aesthetic
The broad, textured leaves enhance botanical aquascapes, blackwater designs, and biotope-style setups. -
All-Natural & Aquarium Safe
Sun-dried, chemical-free, and safe for all freshwater shrimp, fish, and snails after a simple rinse.
Pack Details
Each pack contains naturally dried Jackfruit leaves with slight variation in size, shape, and color due to their natural origin.
How to Use
Rinse gently and place directly into the tank. Leaves will float initially and sink as they absorb water. Replace only when fully decomposed.
