DRIED BANANNA STEMS
Banana stems are a good addition to an isopod enclosure. They provide a natural food source and can also add visual interest to the enclosure and Isopods readily consume banana stems as they decompose, and they can also help support beneficial bacteria growth. 
Here's why banana stems are beneficial:
Food Source:
Isopods enjoy decaying organic matter, and banana stems offer a readily available food source as they break down. 
Biofilm Growth:
Banana stems can help foster the growth of biofilm, which is a food source for many isopods. 
Visual Interest:
They can add a natural, textural element to the enclosure, mimicking a rainforest floor. 
Natural Product:
Banana stems are a natural product, so there is variation in size and shape, adding to the authenticity of the enclosure. 

Guava, Catappa, and Mulberry leaves are all good choices for isopods. 

Guava leaves

Are a good source of nutrition, including vitamin C and fiber.

Possess antibacterial and antifungal properties, potentially contributing to a healthier enclosure environment.

Decompose slowly, providing a longer-lasting food source and substrate enrichment. 

Catappa (Indian almond) leaves

Are a good source of tannins, which have antibacterial and antifungal properties, according to Amazon.com.

Provide shelter and security for isopods, who prefer to burrow and hide.

Help maintain ideal humidity levels within the enclosure. 

Mulberry leaves

Are readily consumed by isopods and can be a good source of nutrition, according to a Facebook post by The Isopod Farm.

Provide variety in an isopod's diet, which is important for their overall health and well-being. 

In summary

Offering a variety of leaves, including guava, catappa, and mulberry, along with other supplements like vegetables, fruits, and calcium sources (like cuttlebone), ensures isopods receive a balanced and nutritious diet, helping them to thrive in their enclosure.  

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
Temperature extremes, humidity extremes, air movement and light cause nutrients to lose strength over time. 
Shelf life maintained for up to one year if properly stored
Vacuum sealed frozen storage extends shelf life beyond one year. 

ALDER & CASUARINA CONES
Natural Habitat Enrichment – Casuarina cones create a natural environment in aquariums, promoting a blackwater effect that supports bettas, shrimp, discus, tetras, and other soft-water fish. Ideal for tanks with acidic water.
Tannin-Rich Water Conditioner – Releases beneficial tannins and humic acids, gradually lowering pH levels and supporting fish and shrimp health. Enhances natural coloration, vitality, and overall well-being of aquatic species.
Shelter & Biofilm Growth – The textured surface of Casuarina cones provides ample hiding spots for baby shrimp and small fish while encouraging biofilm growth, a natural food source essential for their diet.
Sustainably Sourced & Chemical-Free – Organically grown and harvested, these cones are free from chemicals or artificial additives, ensuring a safe and eco-friendly option for freshwater aquariums.
Easy to Use & Long-Lasting – Simply add 1 to 3 cones per gallon of water. Cones gradually break down over time, providing continuous benefits without frequent replacement. Suitable for various aquatic species.
