Galapagos (05357) Natural Bioactive Botanicals – 9 Casuarina Cones, 5 Catappa Leaves, and 2 Almond Bark - Functional Aquarium Decor for Betta Fish, Hermit Crab, Shrimp Tanks & Blackwater Aquariums

About this item

• Create a Beautiful, Natural Aquarium – Elevate your aquarium decor with the Galapagos Bioactive Botanicals Kit, which includes 9 Casuarina cones, 5 Indian Almond leaves, and 2 pieces of Indian Almond Bark. These botanicals add a natural, textured touch that mimics the wild environments of tropical fish, making them perfect for Betta fish tanks, shrimp tanks, or any freshwater aquarium.
• Support Healthy Water Conditions – The Casuarina cones and Indian Almond leaves slowly release tannins into your aquarium, helping to lower pH levels and reduce water hardness. These natural compounds create a blackwater effect, enhancing your tank’s aesthetics and providing a healthy, stable environment for your fish. It’s perfect for species like Betta fish, shrimp, and Apistogramma cichlids that thrive in slightly acidic water.
• Enhance Fish Health & Behavior – Casuarina cones and Indian Almond Bark offer natural hiding spots and shelter for smaller fish, shrimp, and invertebrates. The textured surfaces encourage the growth of biofilm, providing a natural grazing surface for shrimp, catfish, and other bottom-dwellers. These botanicals support your fish’s natural behaviors while creating a more stress-free, thriving environment.
• Non-Toxic & Easy to Use – Made from 100% natural, pesticide-free materials, our botanicals are completely safe for your fish, plants, and invertebrates. Simply boil the botanicals for 30–60 minutes before adding them to your tank to remove excess tannins and ensure your water stays balanced. It's that easy!
• Versatile & Beautiful Decor – Whether you’re setting up a blackwater biotope, enhancing a Betta fish tank, or adding a natural touch to a shrimp aquarium, these botanicals are perfect for all types of aquatic scapes. They’re also great for use in hermit crab enclosures, as leaf litter, and even as a natural decoration in fish tank accessories like aquarium gravel and substrate.
