The leaves of the Sweet chestnut are a good addition to shrimp diets. They are popular among all hobbyists who like to supplement their feed with natural products.

Because chestnut leaves decompose slowly, they are ideal for use during the holidays.

Shrimps readily adopt these leaves as a long-lasting hiding place.

Boil all botanicals for 60 minutes to remove germs, dirt, and debris. Allow your botanicals to soak in dechlorinated, ro or aquarium water overnight before placing them in the aquarium.

You can use the soaking water as dark extract since it contains a descent amount of beneficial tanins.
