About This Product
Being packed with antioxidants, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agents and beneficial tannins, guava leaves have great healing properties that can treat wounds such as cuts or abrasions. The antibacterial agents prevent infection and reduce inflammation to accelerate the healing of wounds. They can also be used for aquascaping your tank or creating a more natural look by releasing natural tannins. These leaves also tend to decompose a bit slower than Indian Almond Leaves. Especially popular for shrimp, these are great for many freshwater fish aquariums and tadpoles as well! Blackwater is softer and has a lower pH, which can be great for certain fish species and to induce breeding.
20 pieces per bag.
Directions: Simply place the leaves into your aquarium. They will release tannins over time, creating a blackwater effect. Monitor water parameters and adjust as needed.

I’ve been using guava leaves for my shrimp tank for two months now. The water turned a nice dark color and my shrimp seem healthier. The leaves last longer than I expected and don’t break down too quickly. Great for creating a natural blackwater environment.

The leaves arrived quickly and are easy to add to the tank. My fish have shown less stress since I started using them. The tannin release is steady and the water pH has dropped slightly, which is good for my sensitive species.

I tried Indian Almond Leaves before, but these guava leaves last longer and decompose more slowly. My tank looks more natural, and the fish seem to enjoy the environment. Highly recommend for shrimp and small fish setups.
