These Kruger Meier Shrimp Leaves XL are large ketapang leaves for aquarists keeping shrimp, fighting fish and other soft, acidic water species. They are meant for tanks where a tea-colored, tannin-rich environment is the goal, and they allow the keeper to adjust the amount to the tank volume.
Why it matters
- Each leaf measures approximately 20 x 14 cm, and the XL size is the largest format in the range, so one leaf covers a larger share of the tank.
- Leaves release tannins and humic acids, which the supplier states support water parameters and produce the tea-colored water that is typical of blackwater setups.
- The supplier states the leaves help limit bacterial and fungal growth and support recovery of fish and shrimp after transport, water changes, spawning or minor skin damage.
- The leaves can be placed directly in the aquarium. They may float at first and then sink, and the effect typically lasts about 2 to 4 weeks.

What it works with
The leaves suit planted and biotope tanks, nature aquariums and blackwater setups with shrimp or soft-water fish. Dosing is based on water volume, so a larger tank can be served with more leaves or with a leaf broken into smaller pieces. Because the leaves are natural and may vary in shape and size, the amount should be checked against the desired water tint.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the leaf can be placed directly in the aquarium. It may float on the surface at first and will then sink on its own.
The recommended dose is 1 large leaf per about 30–50 litres of water, so one leaf suits a 50-litre tank. If your tank is larger, you can also split a leaf into smaller pieces to match the volume.
The tannins release a tea-colored tint into the water, which is the intended effect. The effect usually lasts about 2–4 weeks.
It is especially recommended for shrimp, bettas, and other fish from soft, acidic water. It also suits black water, nature and biotope aquariums.
Yes, the leaves can be divided into smaller fragments to adjust the amount to your tank. As a natural product, they are about 20 × 14 cm but may differ slightly in shape and dimensions. Each pack contains 15 leaves sealed in thick foil.
