Guava Leaves for Shrimp & Aquarium
Give your shrimp a natural, nutritious treat with dried guava leaves, a favourite among shrimp keepers and tropical fish breeders around the world. Sourced from organic guava trees and free from chemical residues, they're a safe choice for dwarf shrimp and all aquarium invertebrates.
Guava leaves are rich in carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins (A, B1 and B2) and minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron. These nutrients help support a healthy exoskeleton and successful moulting, which is key to keeping shrimp healthy through every stage of life.
As the leaves break down, they grow a natural biofilm for shrimp to graze on and release natural compounds that gently lower pH and support a clean, natural environment. Guava leaves are known for their natural antibacterial properties, and they soften more slowly than most dried leaves, so they last longer in the tank.
