Nature Boys Banana Leaf Chips

Nature Boys Banana Leaf Chips

Nature Boys Banana Leaf Chips are a natural, eco-friendly way to enrich your freshwater aquarium—especially shrimp tanks. These carefully dried banana leaf pieces release tannins and natural bioactive compounds that improve water quality, support beneficial bacteria, and help maintain a balanced, healthy environment. Known for their antibacterial and antifungal properties, banana leaf chips help prevent common shrimp ailments and promote overall vitality.

As Nature Boys Banana Leaf Chips break down, they create a steady source of biofilm, a favorite grazing material for shrimp and fry. The mild tannins gently lower pH levels and tint the water with a warm, natural tone, replicating the soft, blackwater conditions found in many natural aquatic habitats.

Usage Instructions

• Soak chips in boiling water for several minutes until waterlogged.

• Rinse thoroughly before placing into your tank.

• Use approximately 1–2 chips per 20 L of aquarium water.

• Replace when the chips have mostly decomposed or as needed to maintain tannin levels.

Additional Notes

Nature Boys Banana Leaf Chips are ideal for shrimp tanks, blackwater aquariums, and natural-style aquascapes. As they decompose, they serve both as a mild water conditioner and as a natural grazing surface. Combining these chips with other botanicals like Catappa leaves, Guava leaves, or Cassia curls can create a richer, more balanced micro-ecosystem that supports long-term shrimp health and breeding.
