Green Gingko Leaves (50 Pack)

These beautiful leaves come from the Ginkgo biloba, which is the only living species of Ginkgoales that first appeared over 290 million years ago. Although they do not produce much in the way of tannins, their elegant shape add a unique and exquisite element to any blackwater aquarium. They are a favourite with our shrimp customers as Neocaridina and Caridina shrimp enjoy dining on the delicate textured leaves.

Tannins Released: Low

All our leaves are organically sourced, and free from harmful pesticides.

Our leaves are cosmetically varied and as nature intended, flaws and all. Colour, shape, size and appearance will vary throughout.
