The leaves release tannin and other elements to the water which enhances shrimps’ health condition. Shrimps and crayfish also by nibbling the leaves clean their digestive tracts. Little shrimps like to hide and spend a lot of time in and around these leaves. Banana leaves also possess following properties: fungicidal, bactericidal, help healing after infections; they can also be used as a biotope material. Banana leaves are naturally used to treat water due to their unique properties.

The leaves are willingly eaten by shrimps and invertebrates making their diets enriched. It’s a natural product free from chemicals and pollutants.
