Aquarium Blackwater Leaves and Leaf Litter
Our vast range of aquatic leaves and leaf litter allows you to create unique and diverse biotope aquarium aquascapes. They are not only atheistically pleasing they can offer a range of benefits to the aquarium inhabitants with the release of tannic acids. Tannic acids are known to boost health, colour and induce spawning in many South American and Southeast Asian species. The leaves in an aquarium make a great alternative food source through biofilm development and are enjoyed by a variety of shrimp and aquarium fish.
