Dried Lotus Pod (10 Pack)
Bring a natural, authentic blackwater look to your aquarium with Dried Lotus Pods. These unique botanicals are a favourite among aquascapers and shrimp keepers for creating a natural riverbed environment while adding structure and visual interest to the tank.
As the pod slowly softens in the water, it releases natural tannins that help replicate the conditions found in many South American and Southeast Asian habitats. These tannins can create a gentle tea-coloured tint in the water, helping reduce stress for fish and supporting a more natural ecosystem.
The hollow chambers of the lotus pod also provide excellent micro-habitats where shrimp and small fish can forage for biofilm and microorganisms. This makes them both decorative and functional in planted tanks, shrimp tanks, and blackwater aquariums.
Each pod has a distinctive honeycomb-like structure that adds texture and depth to aquascapes, making it perfect for nature-style layouts or biotope aquariums.
