Mango Leaves 10-Pack

Mango leaves are a natural botanical additive used to create healthier, more natural freshwater aquarium environments. Dried mango leaves release beneficial tannins and organic compounds that help replicate soft, blackwater conditions found in many tropical habitats.

They are an excellent alternative or complement to Indian Almond (Catappa) leaves and are popular in shrimp tanks, betta tanks, and breeding setups. Key Benefits

Blackwater aquariums How to Use

Rinse lightly before placing in the aquarium.

Add 1 leaf per 20–40L depending on tank size and desired tannin level.

Leaves may float initially and will sink within a few days.

Replace every 2–4 weeks or as they naturally break down.

Monitor water parameters in smaller aquariums, as tannins may gradually lower pH in soft water setups. Why Choose Mango Leaves?

Affordable alternative to other botanical leaves

Safe for fish, shrimp, and most freshwater species

Mango leaves are a simple, natural way to improve aquarium health while enhancing the look and feel of a true blackwater ecosystem.
