Large Papyrus Leaves (20 Pack)
Category: Aquarium Aquatic Aquascaping Botanicals
These beautiful Papyrus leaves are just short of 12 inches making them ideal for larger blackwater aquarium aquascapes or a centrepiece to a smaller blackwater aquarium. As the Papyrus leaves become more waterlogged the leaves open up to create a fan shape, adding a unique decorative element to the aquascape.
The leaves are not only decorative but they make an excellent alternative food source for shrimp and bottom dwellers who cannot seem to resist their tissue paper-like textured leaves.
