Ianp213 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 As a very new junior member I have been advised to put mulberry leaves into my peppermint BN tank! I have 6f - 3m breading peppers! I have Indian Almond Leaves in the tanks already! regards, Ianp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercobwe Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I believe they can eat those leaves, some people feed Mulberry leaves to cherry shrimp as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlum Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 mulberry leaves are for food, and a great thing about them is that they dont create too much of a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennox Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 they can eat it though i've more heard of it beng used in shrimp tanks as a food source. after a day or 2 of soaking it creates a bio-film which the shrimp absolutely love. its in a way similar to spinach although it doesn't have quite as much nutrients (ie. iron etc). there is alot of debate as to how exactly to use it though... some blanch in boiled water, some boil in water for a few minutes, some soak in a bucket for a day or 2, some freeze first and some just chuck it in fresh from the tree... again this is mainly for shrimp but i guess the same would apply to any algae eaters... hope it helps Lennox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
