Stinging Nettle

Description
Stinging nettle leaves are very well suited as a natural food for shrimp and crayfish and are certainly one of the most popular natural feeds, which is especially popular with shrimp.

The stinging nettle leaves naturally have a very soft consistency, but under water they become even softer and more tender, so that the shrimp and crayfish usually fall on them head over heels and do not leave much behind the leaf skeleton. A real pleasure to watch the shrimp eating the nettle leaves.

The nettle leaves were collected by hand and gently air-dried after harvest.

At first, the stinging nettle leaves will float, sometimes for a few days, before they sink.
You can accelerate this process by soaking the stinging nettle leaves in some boiling water or by stuffing them under a piece of driftwood.

Note
If you have lots of stinging nettle leaves in your aquarium tank the pH may decrease a bit.
The stinging nettle leaves may stain the water with a yellow or brownish tint (but transparent). These effects will soon cease, though.

Dosage
Every week approximately one stinging nettle leaf to about 20 liters. The old stinging nettle leaves can remain in the aquarium until they are completely devoured or decomposed.

Content & Delivery
Approximately 2g stinging nettle leaves become delivered in the re-closable zip bag.
