Big Bites Oak Leaf Litter – 1oz
Leaf litter gradually breaks down, adding nutrients to the substrate and sustaining healthy populations of microfauna such as springtails and isopods. These not only provide a source of food for many vivarium inhabitants but also aid in keeping the vivarium clean. Big Bites Oak leaf litter is collected from chemical free areas and is thoroughly washed prior to packaging.
Great for adding tannins in aquariums, providing natural antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.

The leaf litter broke down well in my vivarium and attracted small creatures that helped keep the environment clean. The tannin content added a natural color and helped prevent fungal growth in my aquarium. It’s a reliable and effective product.
Jan Randall –
I used it in my aquarium for the first time and noticed a difference in water clarity. The tannins seemed to reduce algae growth. It’s clean and free of chemicals, which is exactly what I wanted.

The packaging is small but the quality is excellent. The leaves are washed properly and haven’t caused any odor issues. I’ve seen springtails appear after a few weeks, which is a great sign for ecosystem balance.
