Benefits for Vampire Crabs:
Leaves, Jackfruit Leaves, and Banana Leaves are perfect for creating naturalistic environments in blackwater tanks and other setups. They provide essential shelter for fry and small species Like Vampire Crabs. These leaves are also excellent substrates for biofilm and diatom growth, crucial food sources for various aquatic species, including shrimp and other invertebrates, as well as fish.
Catappa Bark, derived from the Terminalia catappa tree, adds numerous health benefits to your aquarium. Known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it is particularly beneficial for newly introduced fish and invertebrates. Rich in protein, amino acids, and a wide range of phytochemicals, Catappa Bark enhances the well-being of your tank's inhabitants.
Moringa Leaves are packed with nutritional and anti-inflammatory properties. They are abundant in vitamins A and C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron, and fatty acids. Additionally, they are high in protein and contain zeatin, which promotes plant growth, ensuring a healthy and thriving environment for your Vampire Crabs.
Benefits for Bioactive Setups with Isopods and Springtails:
In a bioactive setup, these botanicals serve as a crucial part of the ecosystem. Bamboo Leaves, Jackfruit Leaves, and Banana Leaves decompose slowly, providing a continuous source of food and habitat for isopods and springtails. These decomposers help break down organic matter, keeping the substrate clean and promoting nutrient cycling.
Catappa Bark offers a sturdy surface for isopods and springtails to hide and breed under, while also contributing to the breakdown of organic material, enhancing the bioactivity of the substrate.
Moringa Leaves, with their high nutrient content, support the growth and health of isopods and springtails, ensuring they thrive in your setup. Their anti-inflammatory properties also contribute to the overall health of the microfauna in your bioactive environment.
Transform your paludarium into a thriving habitat with our Botanical Combo Pack, and watch your Vampire Crabs, isopods, and springtails flourish!

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
