In the natural biotopes of shrimps and crabs, fallen leaves play an important role in the diet. The animals love to graze decomposing leaves with the biofilm growing on them. For a biologically balanced diet, vegetarian food should therefore be a regular feature on the menu of all shrimp and crabs.
They are characterized by a high content of essential vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids and plant enzymes. In addition, they provide valuable dietary fiber that aids digestion. Due to their high protein content of approx. 30%, they are often used in their home countries as high-quality livestock feed.
Dadap Leaves is a natural supplementary food and is an excellent addition to the main food. The dry leaves soak up water in the aquarium and sink to the bottom within 1-2 days. A biofilm of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms that ferment ("pre-digest") the leaf tissue forms on the surface. This natural growth is enthusiastically grazed by the shrimps. It contains all the nutrients and building blocks that they need on a daily basis. The fibers of the leaves act as fiber and promote healthy digestion. Valuable secondary plant substances strengthen the body's defenses and support healthy development. ShrimpKing Dadap Leaves ensure healthy, balanced growth, more vitality and the joy of reproduction.
Dadap Leaves have also proven their worth in the professional keeping and breeding of Caridina and Neocaridina species as a nutritionally high-quality supplementary food. As the biological decomposition takes about 1-2 weeks, every animal has enough opportunity to eat. There is no food stress, which is especially advantageous for less assertive animals and young animals. In the end only the filigree leaf skeleton remains.
Our Mulberry leaves are 100% locally sourced, natural, untreated and gently dried in the air. Due to the relatively soft cell structure of the Mulberry leaves they are relatively quickly utilizable for the shrimp, crayfish and snails as food / feed.
Preparation:
The Dadap leaves can be added directly into the aquarium after a short boil and little "steep / soak". Due to the relatively soft cell structure of the Dadap leaves, it does not take too long until the shrimp and crayfish "pounce on it" by the way, the Dadap leaves can be kept in the aquarium until they are completely eaten by the shrimp, crayfish, crabs and snails.
