Betta choice teak leaves x10
What are Betta Choice Teak Leaves?
Teak Leaves are just one of many botanicals harvested and packaged by industry experts Betta Choice. They come from a very durable hardwood found in Southeastern Asia. Like other botanicals, they gently lower pH and, as a result, make your aquarium’s water more suitable for low-pH-loving animals, like Caridina Shrimp.
Teak Leaves are considered hardier than other botanicals and tend to last a little long in aquariums than alternatives like Catappa Leaves and Mulberry Leaves. They have similar anti-microbial properties, though, and will help your freshwater fish recover from superficial injuries like wounds and skin infections.
Key Features:
Gently decrease pH, making water more suitable for certain species
Give your aquarium a natural ‘blackwater’ look that simulates wild-like conditions
Supply important humins (organic compounds) that plants use to grow
Tanning agents released have anti-microbial properties, promoting better health and vitality
Offer lots of surface area for development of nutritious biofilms
Great for shrimp breeding set-ups and display aquariums
How do I use Teak Leaves in an aquarium?
Prior to placing Teak Leaves in your aquarium, it’s a good idea to boil them in fresh water. This will remove any lingering bacteria and waterlog them, increasing the chances that they’ll sink when you finally add them to your aquarium.
After boiling your Teak Leaves, strain them and then add them to your aquarium. If pre-boiled, or left for a day or two, the Teak Leaves will sink and start to release humins and tanning agents.
As natural products, Teak Leaves won’t last forever and after four to six weeks they will start to break down and lose their effectiveness. It’s recommended that you replace your Teak Leaves once they start to break down. This pack contains approximately 10 individual Teak Leaves.
