Free of pesticides and chemicals, each leaf is 100% natural and ready to enrich your aquatic environment.
Why Mulberry Leaves Are Beneficial for Aquariums
Mulberry Leaves are a favorite among shrimp and fish keepers for their nutritional and water-conditioning properties. When submerged, they slowly decompose and release beneficial tannins, trace minerals, and organic acids that help:
-
Support overall fish and shrimp health
-
Encourage natural grazing behavior, especially in shrimp, plecos, and catfish
-
Provide mild antibacterial and antifungal support
-
Slightly soften and condition the water, mimicking natural blackwater habitats
As they break down, Mulberry Leaves also serve as a natural food source for shrimp, snails, and other detritivores, promoting a balanced and thriving aquarium ecosystem.
How to Use Mulberry Leaves
There are a few simple ways to use Mulberry Leaves in your aquarium:
-
Pre-Soak – Soak the leaves in fresh water for a day or two until they sink, then place them in your tank.
-
Direct Placement – Rinse gently and add them straight to the aquarium. They’ll float briefly before sinking naturally.
-
Filter Method – Place leaves in a filter bag or compartment to enjoy their beneficial effects without altering your aquascape’s appearance.
Use one or more leaves based on your aquarium size and the desired tannin concentration.
