Aquatic Mangosteen Leaves – Premium Natural Botanicals for a Healthy Aquarium
Safe for all fish and invertebrates | Pack of 11
Introduce the beauty and balance of nature into your aquarium with Aquatic Mangosteen Leaves. Collected from the Garcinia mangostana tree—known as the “Queen of Fruits”—these rich, broad leaves are carefully hand-picked only after they naturally fall from the trees, then cleaned and sun-dried to preserve their purity and beneficial compounds. Free of pesticides, herbicides, or artificial treatments, they’re 100% natural and aquarium-safe.
Why Mangosteen Leaves Are Beneficial for Aquariums
Mangosteen Leaves are valued in aquatics for their natural conditioning and health-promoting effects. When submerged, they release a gentle blend of tannins, flavonoids, and organic acids that help:
-
Support overall fish and shrimp vitality
-
Provide natural antimicrobial and antifungal benefits
-
Help detoxify trace metals and impurities in tap water
-
Create a soothing, tea-colored tint ideal for blackwater and biotope aquariums
As they slowly soften and break down, Mangosteen Leaves serve as a natural grazing surface for shrimp, plecos, and catfish, while also offering shelter for fry and shy species.
How to Use Mangosteen Leaves
There are several simple ways to introduce Mangosteen Leaves into your aquarium:
-
Pre-Soak Method – Soak the leaves in fresh water for 1–2 days until they sink naturally.
-
Direct Use – Rinse gently under tap water and place them directly in your tank. They’ll float briefly before sinking to the substrate.
-
Filter Method – Add a few leaves to a filter bag or media chamber to benefit from their water-conditioning effects without changing your aquascape’s look.
Use one or more leaves depending on your aquarium size and the desired level of tannins.
Note: Each Mangosteen Leaf is unique. Slight variations in shape, size, and color are natural and highlight their authentic, organic origin.
