Jackfruit leaves

Jackfruit leaves come from the Artocarpus heterophyllus . This tree is related to the fig and mulberry and is common in Asia. Leaves fall from trees and end up in streams and rivers. They form part of the natural habitat of killifish, gouramis, barbels, etc. In the water they release tanins that give the water a brown color and make the water more acidic.

In the aquarium, a biofilm forms over the leaves. Shrimp, lobsters, snails and fish feed on this. Jackfruit leaves are attributed with healing properties. We would mainly recommend them for their decorative value in the aquarium. Jackfruit leaves are relatively small in size. A cluster of these leaves quickly gives a tropical impression. This creates a place where animals can hide and look for food. Moreover, the leaves last a very long time, longer than, for example, Catappa leaves or Guava leaves, so you can enjoy them for a long time.

Jackfruit leaves instructions for use

Jackfruit leaves can be added directly to the aquarium. It may take several days for them to sink. To speed up this process, they can be boiled briefly (5-15 minutes).
Advice: 1 leaf per 10-50 liters. Don't add too much at once. This can cause a fluctuation in the water values. By adding the leaves evenly, you can judge to taste whether the discoloration is not too much.
