Benefits of using banana stems

 

 

  • Natural food source: 
    Banana stems are an excellent surface for biofilm to grow, which serves as a natural food for shrimp and small fish. 
     
  • Mimic natural habitat: 
    They provide a natural look and create hiding places, which can reduce stress for fish and shrimp. 
     
  • Water conditioning: 
    Stems release tannins, which can help lower pH and create a soft, slightly acidic environment beneficial for certain species. 
     
  • Support health: 
    The tannins have antifungal and antibacterial properties, which can aid in fish health and recovery from minor injuries. 
     
  • Encourage natural behavior: 
    They support foraging and other natural behaviors in inhabitants.
