Nano chestnut leaves - 15 pcs.

The common horse chestnut originally comes from the Balkan region and was introduced to us only around 1576. It grows mainly in shady and relatively humid places, but can also adapt to brighter to sunny locations. The common horse chestnut can look back on several awards, in 2005 it was elected tree of the year, in 2008 even medicinal plant of the year.

The leaves of the common horse chestnut are interesting for aquaristics, they are characterized by the fact that they have a relatively long shelf life even under water and decompose comparatively slowly. This makes them predestined as vacation and/or vacation food for our little crawlers and snails.

Our carefully collected and then gently air-dried Nano Leaves of Horse Chestnut are particularly rich in natural humic acids, flavonoids and tannins, which have been proven to have a positive influence on the health and well-being of our beloved little invertebrates. Nano Horse Chestnut leaves serve as a source of food for the nurturing creatures as well as a welcome shelter for young shrimps and pregnant as well as freshly skinned females.

Nano Horse Chestnut leaves can float up in the aquarium in the beginning, this can be prevented by weighing down the leaves with suitable aids, e.g. clay tubes or similar, or by briefly scalding them with hot water beforehand. By the over-brewing one softens the sheets easily and shrimps and Co. falls it thereby more easily the sheets to dismantle. Besides, the over-brewing of the Nano chestnut leaves has a slightly antibacterial effect on the leaves.

A slight coloring of the water by the leaves is natural and completely harmless.
