Texas Live Oak Leaf Litter | Quercus fusiformis

Product Description: Texas Live Oak Leaf Litter (Quercus fusiformis) is our ideal leaf litter for blackwater, biotope, and botanical method aquariums because it's small, high in tannins, and quite durable. In general, all species of Live Oak Leaves are great beginner botanicals because they break down slowly in the aquarium, cultivating medium amounts of biofilms that are not as off-putting for someone who is just beginning to learn the methods. They add a soft yellow/light brown tint to the water, and their shape allows aquatic life to seek refuge beneath them. In the bioactive enclosure niche, Texas Live Oak Leaves need no introduction as the leaf litter of choice for the vivarium. They last a considerable amount of time and sustain the microfauna in the ecosystem to provide supplemental nutrition to frogs, geckos, and other terrestrial inhabitants. This bag and its contents are biodegradable! Did you know our product packaging is made from renewable and sustainable sugarcane? So jus
