These Kruger Meier Shrimp Leaves XL are ketapang leaves for aquarists keeping shrimp, bettas and other soft-water fish who want to shape water chemistry and tank appearance without chemical treatments. Each pack contains five large leaves that are sold as a natural product, so their shape and dimensions may vary slightly.
Why it matters
- Each leaf measures about 20×14 cm, one of the larger sizes of ketapang leaves on the market, and can be broken into smaller pieces to match tank volume.
- The leaves release tannins and humic acids, which the supplier describes as supporting water parameters in soft-water systems.
- The supplier states that the leaves also help limit bacterial and fungal growth and form a natural biofilm that shrimp and snails can graze on.
- The leaves are packed by hand in thick, heat-sealed foil, which protects them during transport and storage.

What it works with
The leaves can be added directly to the aquarium: they may float at first and then sink on their own. The supplier recommends them for shrimp, bettas and soft-water or acidic-water fish, and for black water, nature and biotope aquariums where a tea-colored water effect is wanted. For larger tanks, the XL size allows the leaves to be divided to match the required dose.
