Organic Nettle Leaf - 10 grams

Stinging nettle leaves are very well suited as a natural food for shrimp and are one of the most popular natural foods. The nettle leaves have a very soft consistency, but under water they become even softer and more tender, so that the shrimp usually fall on them head over heels and do not leave much behind the leaf skeleton. 

At first, the stinging nettle leaves will float, sometimes for a few days, before they sink.
You can accelerate this process by soaking the stinging nettle leaves in some boiling water.
 
Note
If you have lots of stinging nettle leaves in your aquarium tank the pH may decrease a bit.
The stinging nettle leaves may stain the water with a yellow or brownish tint (but transparent). These effects will soon cease, though.
