It seems that almost all the leaves we utilize in our aquariums provide some medicinal or antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. Leaves of the Katahal, which is also known as the Jack fruit tree, are no different and also have healing properties for human use. These tropical botanicals make a great addition to any aquarium with shrimp or fish, young or old. Killifish and others dwarf them at 1 to 2 leaves per 10 gallons of aquarium volume. Like most other leaves it is recommended to boil them for a couple of minutes to help them sink faster in the aquarium. To acquire the best results, All Aquariums - 3 Leaves per 15 liters of Fresh Water Baby Fish Rearing - 2 leaves per 30 liters of Fresh Water Betta Fish Breeding - 3 leaves per 10 liters of Fresh Water Jackfruit contains phytonutrients, such as lignans, isoflavones, and saponins that have health benefits that are wide-ranging for humans. There is some conflicting data regarding jackfruit's antifungal activity. However, the leaves are thought to exhibit a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. In traditional medicine, these leaves are used to help heal wounds as well. Do these properties transfer over to our fishes and shrimp? We are not aware of any scientific studies that have been completed to correlate one way or another, so for now, we're content to utilize these leaves for their aesthetics- and proven ability to impart a tannin tint into aquarium water! These are nicely shaped, high-quality leaves that bring a very nice "tropical" aesthetic to the aquarium, as well as that tint we love so much around here! They will last a pretty long time- not quite as long as Magnolia, but longer than Catappa and Guava, in our experience. They are pretty good-sized, too! When we tested them, after one month submerged, we found them to be almost as "solid" as the day they were placed in the tank! They will recruit biofilms on their surfaces, which ornamental shrimp love to feed on- as well as consuming the leaves themselves as they soften. They look great either on their own or as a component of a mixed leaf litter bed in your aquarium! Add these leaves gradually to your aquarium, at a rate of just a couple of leaves for each 10 U.S. gallons of aquarium capacity, so that you can gauge for yourself the impact they have on your water. Although these leave may come in a bit "crispy" (i.e.; dry and brittle), they seem to soften up nicely upon immersion, and this doesn't impact their "performance", in our experience.
