Hey guys! I recently got some info that mulberry leaves are helpful for shrimp! Can anyone verify this, because my mulberry plant is flourishing

Is there any reason for drying it?
If I'm correct, the ink from the leaves is poisonous even if not, it is to get rid of micro organisms on the leaves. Before you place the leaf in your tank, soak it to soften it

Drying it would hasten the time taken for bacterial to colonize/consume/break down the leaves.Originally Posted by SwordZ
I would boil it first to rid of the tannins
I also use mango leaf and banana leaf
Recent studies shows that putting recent studies in your statement have a higher percentage of trust people put into your recent studies. What?
But I thought the tannins could be used to lower Ph ?

My soil will buffer itself. No need further reducing.
Only using the leafs as "said" anti-fungal properties, humid acid and mainly bacterial.

You can get large bags of ketapang leaves from LFS like C328 for just $1 a bag... all the leaves already processed and dried, easier and less risk.
I have a mulberry tree at home and feed the fresh leaves to my shrimp frequently without any problem. I freeze them in the fridge then drop into the tank, shrimp will eat immeditately. I avoid boilding due to some nutrition get lost during the process.

Just to check do u need to dry it for a few days before freezing the leaves? Bought some to try and not sure to feed when fresh or dried. thks.
I seen some processed leafs on eBay. Do a quick search and you can find some branded ones too.
I have some organic Japanese mulberry leaves. Free from pesticides and any undesirables which you do not want in your tank. PM me for a quick deal.
