Product description:
Mango leaves (Mangifera indica) are a perfect natural botanical for both bioactive terrariums and aquariums. They add a very realistic “forest” touch, create refuge areas, and contribute to a more stable and natural environment.
In terrariums, they serve as litter and gradually break down, which can help support the microfauna (isopods/springtails) in a bioactive setup. In aquariums, they are appreciated for their long and narrow shape (hiding spots), their ability to release tannins (amber water), and because shrimp/snails/fish often like to consume them as they decompose.
Highlights:
100% natural
Versatile: terrarium + aquarium
Long and thin shape (great hiding spots)
Gradually decomposes (litter/botanicals effect)
Can release tannins (amber tint / blackwater ambiance)
Promotes biofilm and grazing areas (great for shrimp)
Usage (terrarium):
Place the leaves on the substrate (surface or targeted areas)
Lightly mist to speed up integration
Replace as needed when well decomposed
Usage (aquarium):
Rinse quickly, then soak or boil for 1–2 minutes to help them sink faster (optional)
