According to the seller, dry banyan leaves help reduce the pH of the water, aiding fish in healing fin and scale injuries. They also keep the water clean and free from fungus, reducing stress in fish and boosting their immune system while protecting them from bacteria and other toxins.
Additionally, dry banyan leaves stimulate reproduction and protect fish eggs from bacterial attacks, increasing the number of fertilized eggs.
Thus, dry banyan leaves are beneficial for those who keep ornamental fish and can be added to the fish tank to care for the fish and maintain water quality.

Inspired by the joke “don’t forget to bring back the air from Da Lat” often said by many people, the store created stickers with different types of air, such as Xuan Huong Lake, Doc Nha Bo, Cau Dat Tea Hill, Tuyen Lam Lake, Da Lat House of Horror, and Valley of Love. To use the Da Lat air bag, cut a small corner, bring it close to your nose, take a deep breath, and close your eyes to feel the essence of Da Lat.
The seller of this product states that the bags of Da Lat air are not sold for commercial purposes. They are meant as commemorative gifts from Da Lat, bringing joy to both the buyer and the recipient while promoting the store’s name. The total cost of the air bag, air pump, and stickers is around VND 5,000 – 6,000 per bag, excluding shipping costs.
“The number of bags sold is so high that I can’t keep an exact count, almost a thousand bags in a few weeks. Online sales are the most significant. Some customers even visited the store early in the morning to purchase. However, the air bags should be disposed of properly after use to avoid environmental impact,” the store owner expressed.
