Banana stems make a great addition to any shrimp tank and to any black water aquarium where they can be used as litter on the bottom of the tank. Banana stems will usually last 2-3 months. They can be removed or left in the aquarium until there is nothing left of them. Banana stems will grow biofilm which is a great food source for shrimp and other algae eaters.
1 oz and 4 oz portion sizes are available.
Each ouch will contain about 10 banana stems.
Daphnia came alive and great and quick. My puffers and other tiny fish loved them! Even my vampire crabs were able to catch a couple. My shrimp loves the bee pollen and I stocked up on my alder cones and tried the banana stem for the first time. My snails love it and it make it easier to catch pest snacks for my puffer to! Will be ordering again. Love watching your YouTube channel also full of good information.
They look good with the wood I had in my tank and my shrimp and snails love it.
These are great! My fry love them for the biofilm munching. They also seem to help the water quality in my shrimp tanks.
My shrimp absolutely love these and have swarmed them for days. Put one in every tank for them to enjoy.
Professionals! I ordered fish, snails, shrimp, banana stems and other naturals food sources. EVERYTHING arrived in great condition, no casualties, and even pro tips to help get everything into the tank! The way everything was packaged for shipment was on a whole different level from anything else I have ever received in the mail. It was PERFECT! Thanks so much to the Flip Aquatics team for ALL you do!
They love it! As soon as I put a banana stem into the tank they swarmed it. To ensure the stem would sink I boiled it for 10 mins and let it cool for several hours. I will be buying these again!
In the past orders, the stems were larger.
They work great
My shrimp and fish love these banana stems!
It only took my mystery and ramshorn snails a few minutes to discover the banana stems when I first added them to the tank! The stems float for a while before sinking, but that didn't stop the snails. I have seen my rosy loach fry nibbling on the biofilm that formed on the stems, too, so this will definitely be a repeat purchase!
They are perfect size. Put in shrimp tank! Thank you
they look a little weird but my shrimp and snails swarmed them as soon as i put them in. I also threw a couple in my terrarium just to add something a little different.
The quality and the packaging were on point but the shrimpers couldn’t care less about them. The snails aren’t very fond of them either.
Hey Theresa,
Thank you so much for your order and review. I am sorry to hear they didn't like the Banana Stems. Is there any way we could have made this a better experience. If so, please reach out at shipping@flipaquatics.com. I hope you have a great day.
S is for Samantha:)
I actually purchased some botanicals for my clown loach and my Cory tanks. I am adding slowly but so far, both types of fish are interacting with all my botanical additions. The clowns and corys both graze for food off of the stems and I’m very pleased with the way they look in the tanks as well. One package provides a lot of stems, so this supply will keep me going for some time and the quality is great!
Huge hit with all of my invertebrates
