General info on mulberry leaves: Mulberry Leaves are ideal leaf litter for aquariums, providing shelter to fry and small species of shrimp, crabs, crayfish, snails, frogs and fish while maintaining a natural look in the aquarium. They also serve as an ideal growth medium for biofilm and diatoms, both of which are key food sources to countless aquatic animal species, including shrimp and other invertebrates as well as fish. Mulberry Leaves also have buffering qualities. As they decompose, they release tannins, that lower the pH of the aquarium, but at a gradual rate. Mulberry Leaves have extremely valuable nutritional qualities. They are rich in carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins (A, B1, B2, C), minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron), amino acids, and antioxidants. They are also rich in carotenoids and aid in the molting process of invertebrates (shrimp, crayfish, crabs, snails). OurMulberryLeaves are sourced from pesticide and chemical-free areas. These leaves can be allowed to be fully eaten or decompose in the aquarium. We recommend that they be added sparingly at first in order to ensure no drastic changes in water parameters or excessive tanning of water. 1 leaves per gallon. Why we use mulberry leaves?
