Shrimp Botanicals – Soursop Leaves
£2.99
Our Soursop Leaves (Annona muricata) are carefully dried, large and medium-sized leaves ideal for use as a natural botanical in shrimp aquariums.
Soursop is traditionally valued for its antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant properties. In the aquarium, these leaves slowly release tannins and beneficial compounds, improving water quality, reducing harmful pathogens and promoting overall shrimp health.
The larger leaf size also provides a natural grazing surface for biofilm, encouraging shrimp to feed in a natural way while enhancing the aesthetics of a botanical-style aquarium.
