Macadamia ternifolia (common names: small-fruited Queensland nut, gympie nut) is a tree in the flowering plant family Proteaceae, native to Queensland in Australia
Macadamia leaves are one of my favourite leaves to use as the have a very pleasant smell and are very long lasting/ tend not to break down as quick in the aquarium.
Macadamia leaves can be added directly into the aquarium after a short boil and little "steep / soak". It does not take too long until the shrimp and crayfish "pounce on it" by the way, the macadamia leaves can be kept in the aquarium until they are completely eaten by the shrimp, crayfish, crabs and snails.
