Benefits and Properties of Hazel Leaves (Corylus avellana) 
Supports Health and Immunity
Hazel leaves contain tannins and flavonoids with natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, helping prevent infections in the aquarium.
Natural Source of Minerals
They release valuable minerals like calcium and magnesium into the water, supporting molting and the healthy development of shrimp exoskeletons.
Improves Water Quality
Hazel leaves gently lower and stabilize pH levels, making them ideal for Caridina shrimp and other soft-water species.
Natural Plant-Based Food
As the leaves decompose, they become a direct food source for shrimp and also promote biofilm growth, which shrimp love to graze on.
Long-Lasting Food Supply
The slow decomposition means they provide sustained nutrition over days or even weeks without polluting the water.
Natural Decoration and Shelter
Hazel leaves offer a natural look to the tank and create small hiding spots, especially useful for baby shrimp.
