Uses
-
Aquarium: An ideal pack for nano and shrimp aquascapes. The pods produce tannins and biofilm, create microfauna hotspots, provide natural hides, and build a naturalistic blackwater or biotope environment that fish and shrimp thrive in. Great for betta fish care.
-
Springtail Harvesting: Simply place a seed pod on top of your springtail substrate — springtails will gather on the pod, making it easy to transfer them directly into a bioactive enclosure.
-
Bioactive Terrarium: Seed pods serve as sustainable natural decor, isopod and springtail hides, and a long-lasting food source as they break down. They hold up well in humid vivariums.
-
Botanical Home Decor: A charming, textured bowl filler or natural arrangement accent.
Aquarium Preparation
Boil pods for 15–20 minutes to release initial tannins, then soak overnight to help them become waterlogged and sink. Start with one or two pods and add more as desired.
Please Note: Natural product — pods will vary in size, shape, and color. Not for human consumption.
