Botanical beauty with benefits for shrimp and blackwater setups.
Enhance your aquarium with this set of 3 natural Lotus Pods, sourced from the seed head of the Nelumbo nucifera (Lotus plant). Their unique shape and structure provide the perfect blend of decoration and function: a beautiful hiding place for shrimp, tannin release for blackwater biotopes, and support for fish health.
The small cavities make ideal hideouts for shrimp and microfauna, while the slow release of tannins lowers pH, reduces bacteria, and helps reduce stress in aquatic life.
Size: 9-12cm
Contents: 3 pieces

Boil the lotus pods for about 40 minutes with a heavy object placed on top. Then soak them overnight, again under weight, to minimize buoyancy. After preparation, simply place them in your aquarium to enjoy their natural look and functional benefits.
Tip: Combine with ceramic pyramids or Cholla wood for extra hiding places.
Fun fact: Lotus pods share similar benefits with Catappa products—they support fish health naturally and enhance the look and feel of blackwater tanks.
