Banana leaves have many of the same properties as Catappa leaves for fish & shrimp. They have fungicidal and bactericidal properties which aid the healing after infections. The leaves also release tannins and other elements into the water which improves the overall health of the fish and shrimp. Shrimp especially like to hide and spend time in around the leaves. Banana leaves are mostly used to improve shrimp aquariums as they enrich the water with missing substances such as organic compounds and lower the pH of the water. Over time the leaves will expire in the aquarium and Shrimp Snails and other crustaceans will make the most of this process and eat the leaves. They are great food supplement alone and make for a great addition to the creatures diet ! Our Banana leaves are 100% clean dry and insecticide free.
