Pack of Dried Guava Leaves 12 pcs.
(Leaf size ~ approx. 3” ea.)
Guava Leaves provide similar benefits as the catappa leaf: releasing acids and tannins into the water that reduce fish stress, offering antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, and creating tanned water, or ‘blackwater’ conditions.
Guava leaves are desired among aquarium hobbyists because they dissolve slower than catappa leaves and provide a pleasing aesthetic. The thin biofilm that naturally develops and surrounds guava leaves has been used in the aquarium hobby to supplement the diet of invertebrate livestock.
Recommendations:
- Guava leaves will develop a thin ‘bio-film’ surrounding the leaves under normal, healthy tank conditions.
- Guava leaves may take longer to sink than catappa leaves and if desired, can be boiled for 2-5 minutes before adding to the aquarium in order to help them sink.
