The advantages of having jackfruit leaves in an aquarium are numerous. When submerged, these leaves give off tannic acid that transitions the water to a golden brown color. Additionally, they reduce pH and emit beneficial organic substances including humic acids and flavonoids. As a result of their antimicrobial elements, the leaves are able to take in potentially dangerous compounds or heavy metals and detoxify them. All fish can benefit from this natural source of protection when present in their habitat. Aquariums can benefit from having jackfruit leaves in them, as they offer spots for fish and other aquatic life to hide and lay eggs. The leaves create a feeling of a natural rainforest atmosphere, giving the tank a freshness that cannot be replicated with artificial plants.
