Chapeuzinho Pods – Exotic Natural Hiding Pods

Unique botanical pods for shrimp, fish, and terrarium animals.

Add a natural and eye-catching detail to your aquarium or terrarium with Chapeuzinho Pods. These exotic seed pods, native to South America, are perfect for aquascaping and bioactive terrariums. Their curled, hat-like shape creates ideal shelters for shrimp, small fish, reptiles, and amphibians.

As the pods slowly break down in water, they release tannins that help reduce bacteria and improve overall water quality. This makes them not only decorative, but also beneficial for your animals’ health.
