Michael Turner :
Went with mangrove leaves from this shop for my terrarium, and it completely changed the atmosphere. They blend in beautifully and help maintain just the right humidity for my frogs. Plus, they create great little hiding spots. While browsing, I also came across Catappa leaves for shrimps and Mulberry leaves for shrimps both have really improved the condition of my shrimp tank. A solid choice if you’re aiming for a healthy, natural setup.
Ethan Harris :
I had a little hesitation at first, but choosing mangrove leaves from Ceylontro turned out to be a great decision. They break down slowly and give my reptile enclosure a soft, earthy feel that just works. The quality really stands out. I also came across Catappa barks for shrimps, and using them along with Catappa leaves and Mulberry leaves for shrimps has made a noticeable difference in how clean and balanced my shrimp tank is. If you’re after terrarium supplies that actually deliver, this place is definitely worth a look.

Belly Pods

Belly pods, from the Aegle marmelos tree, are used in aquariums to release beneficial compounds, similar to Indian almond leaves. They are beneficial for fish such as bettas, angelfish, discus, and tetras, providing natural antibacterial properties and creating a healthy aquatic environment.

Indian Almond leaves

Indian almond leaves (catappa leaves) and jackfruit leaves are beneficial for betta fish in aquariums. Indian almond leaves release tannins with antibacterial and antifungal properties, helping to maintain water quality, lower pH levels naturally, and reduce stress. Jackfruit leaves also release tannins, conditioning water and creating a natural environment that supports betta fish health and well-being.
