Product Description
Lotus Pods are part of the seed head of the Lotus plant (Nelumbo nucifera).
The Lotus Pods have several small holes / burrows where shrimp can hide and find food.
The effects of the Lotus Pods are like the effects of catappa products as they reduce the pH, help prevent diseases and look decorative in the aquarium.
This product is a completely natural Lotus Pod, so the shapes and sizes will vary from piece to piece. They are naturally harvested and dried, without the use of any pesticides or chemicals. These are the seed head from the Lotus plant, and weigh almost nothing, but are a great way to add a new look to your aquarium.
The by-product of Lotus plant that is used for human consumption, these make a great addition to your aquarium, especially when used alongside other natural decor to really create a theme, or biotope, for your inhabitants.
Before use, you can boil these for around 30-40m and then leave to soak overnight, which will reduce their buoyancy and encourage them to sink and allow you to accurately aquascape with them and really get the look that you're after.
