List of Shrimp safe leaves ?

[Mark]

Hello

I think it would be great if we had a list of Shrimp safe leaves that we can use .

The idea being to make a list of "know" leaves that are 100 % safe and not just hearsay .

So far i have tried (indain almond) Terminalia catappa and Acer platanoides (Norway Maple) with no ill effects .

In fact i will go as far as saying catappa leaves can help to induce the breeding cycle so thats a + 1 for catappa leaves .

1 , (Indain almond) Terminalia catappa .

2, (Norway Maple) Acer platanoides .


Please help me add to this list .

I tried jack fruit tree leaves in my cherry tank and they seem to love it. Its been a week now and no problem so far.

I've tested Quercus robur, Quercus pyrenaica, Quercus petrea and some other oak leaves wich species I couldn't identify... so I suppose most of the Quercus gennus leaves (Oak leaves) are ok for shrimps (if anyone knows any exception, please post it here). It's a good substitute for commertial catappa leaves.

Agreed with Fento, I personally prefer black mulberry leaves over oak though.

So now we have

1 , (Indain almond) Terminalia catappa .

2, (Norway Maple) Acer platanoides .

3. (Oak Leaves ) Quercus gennus .

4. (Black Mulberry) Morus nigra .

5. (Jack Fruit tree )

6.(Guava Tree) Psidium guajava is this correct ?

Fagus - Beech tree
Banana leaves

what i can find in my country :Alnus glutinosa(i am using "Alder Tongue Gall"),Quercus robur,Quercus petraea,Quercus pubescens,Quercus cerris...


@Zane-black mulberry??is it Morus?(i didn't know that i can use leafs of mulberry in my tank) ..in my part of country we made "Rakija" of many fruits but also from fruit of that trea.Rakija- an alcoholic beverage that is produced by destillation of fermented fruit,stronger than Vodka)

So now we have

1 , (Indain almond) Terminalia catappa .

2, (Norway Maple) Acer platanoides .

3. (Oak Leaves ) Quercus gennus .

4. (Black Mulberry) Morus nigra .

5. (Jack Fruit tree )

6.(Guava Tree) Psidium guajava is this correct ?

7.(Alder) Alnus glutinosa

8.(Beech) Fagus
