    100% Natural Dry Leaves
    Benefits of using Guava leaves in your shrimp tank:
    Have anti-bacterial properties
    Help to prevent diseases such as Vibrio and Luminous Bacteria
    Great source of food for shrimp
    Guava leaves soften much more slowly than other dried leaves and do not break down as quickly, therefore these leaves will not require replacing/removing as frequently.
    Guava leaves are a great food source for shrimp and fish in the aquarium and many species love eating the biofilm the leaves create. These leaves contain polyphenols, carotenoids, flavonoids and tannins. Carotenoids have been suggested in scientific studies to aid spawning health of both the parent and the offspring.
    Guava leaves produce less tannin than catappa leaves and last longer in the aquarium before breaking down. If you prefer a lighter tannin color try Guava leaves. They can be boiled for a few minutes to help them sink right away if you prefer. Shrimp will enjoy feeding on the leaves after being boiled for several minutes.
    It's a natural source of food just to give them that extra bit of nutrition. Also if you have snails in your aquarium, the snails will eat the leaves and poop. In their turn, shrimp will eat the poop which is very important to the natural diet. Variety is very important in the diet.
    Unfortunately, people are prone to underestimate the importance of a healthy shrimp diet. As a result, they often lose a lot of shrimp. If you give your shrimp the same food day after day, it will not work well for you and your shrimp. It is better to have at least 3 different kinds of foods and they will thank you with abundant progeny.
    Notes: Boiling the leaves and letting it cool down before putting into the tank are always recommended.
