Kruger Meier Shrimp Leaves XL are large ketapang leaves for aquarists keeping shrimp, bettas, gouramis and other fish from soft, acidic water. The leaves are used to tint the water and to support water parameters in tanks where a natural, tea-coloured environment is wanted.
Why it matters
- Leaf size of about 20x14 cm, the largest format in the range, so one leaf covers a larger area of the tank.
- Releases tannins and humic acids, which give the water a tea-like colour and, according to the manufacturer, support water parameters.
- According to the manufacturer, it helps limit bacterial and fungal growth and supports the recovery of fish and shrimp after transport, spawning and minor skin damage.
- Leaves can be split into smaller pieces, so the amount can be matched to the tank size and the intended effect.

What it works with
The product is aimed at shrimp tanks, black water, nature aquariums and biotope setups, and is recommended for shrimp, bettas, gouramis and fish from soft, acidic water. Because the dose is given per litre of water, the number of leaves should be adjusted to the volume of the tank. Leaves can be divided to match smaller or larger aquariums.
