Bring the benefits of the tropical jungle to your aquarium with our 100% Organic Dried Mango Leaves. Mango leaves (Mangifera indica) are highly prized by shrimp and Betta enthusiasts for their medicinal properties and their ability to create a stunning, natural "Blackwater" look.
Why Choose Mango Leaves?Durability: Mango leaves are thicker and sturdier than Catappa leaves. They take much longer to decompose, meaning they stay in your tank as a functional decoration for weeks.
Natural Medicine: Rich in tannins, flavonoids, and humic acids that have anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties—perfect for healing fin rot or protecting shrimp fry.
Shrimp Buffet: As the leaf slowly breaks down, it creates a "biofilm" that shrimp, snails, and fry graze on 24/7.
Subtle Aesthetics: Releases a warm, golden-amber tint that reduces fish stress and makes colors pop.
How to Use
Prepare: Give the leaves a quick rinse or boil for 2–5 minutes to help them sink faster and remove surface dust.
Add: Drop them into the tank. They may float for 1–2 days before sinking.
Dosage: We recommend 1 leaf per 10 gallons of water. Replace once only the "skeleton" of the leaf remains.
