Step into the realm of aquarium botanicals for beginners and our top aquarium botanical recommendations. The use of materials like magnolia leaves, alder cones, and catappa leaves can be done by anyone, and at any stage in the aquarium hobby. This resource is here to help walk you down the right path, and spark curiosity about this fantastic community and niche of the hobby.
Aquarium botanicals provide refuge, foraging sites, spawning grounds, and enrichment to the life of fish, reptiles, and amphibians. They provide an enhanced ecosystem which replicates their natural habitat and improves their natural behaviors. Our guide on how to safely collect your own is a great resource to learn how to do it safely.
Good size for bettas. My fish use it for hiding and playing at times. Nice addition to my aquarium botanicals.
The leaves are effective in lowering pH. Good quality product. Prep instructions are very helpful.
Great addition to my aquarium. Fish love to hide in it. I followed the instructions on how to prep it and placed it inside the tank and it gave out tannins. My pH went down to 6.8 from 7.2 (together with leaves and cones).
Got them to help heal my betta’s fins but it worked just as awesome for a place for him to rest, the loaches and shrimp loved it too and ate the leaves clean!
The pods were delivered quickly and well packaged. They all arrived in great condition. My Bamboo Shrimp almost immediately claimed one as its hiding spot! Thank you!
My bark was delivered quickly and well packaged. The pieces were in great condition and the corydoras have decided to turn the tubes into a playground! Thank you!
I’m completely in love with Betta Botanicals. This kit was absolutely perfect for someone just starting out their botanical tank journey. I’ve been enjoying the process of setting up my tank and the wood and branches I received in this kit were incredibly beautiful. The botanicals were amazing and the seed pods were 😍😍😍. My tank is still a work in process, and I’ve already ordered more things to add, but it’s my favorite tank in the house now!
I love everything I get from this shop. This pack was large enough that I could split some of the pieces up between my smaller betta tanks. Prices are great, shipping is fast, and my tanks are beautiful.
I'm still new to the betta hobby but I've wanted a natural set up and so I'm glad I found this shop on IG. I'm learning stuff from their page too! I am obsessed with the alder cones. I wish I had a bigger tank, but this will do for now. I'm just waiting for my tank to cycle before I add a betta.
My shrimp go crazy for these! And it was nice that the 3 orders were packed in one bag to save on packaging! <3
My shrimp and snails like these. Thank you!
I’m so happy I came across this product on my tiktok fyp. I have a new tank that I’ve been playing Goldilocks with different extracts & leaves & couldn’t find anything I loved. One bag of this steeped & cooled took care of my whole 15 gallon tank (with extra to spare) & it’s a gorgeous brown for the last few days. I love that a full bag will last for awhile.
I received these massive fronds and they were perfect for my ball python's 4x2x2 enclosure! She's much more active now and loves the added cover.
I received a full bag of botanicals of all shapes and sizes! Perfect leaf litter for the crested gecko enclosure I'm building.
Like the description said they are a rather large leaf. They'd have issues in smaller setups but they look amazing as litter in a larger tank like a 29-75. My corys absolutely love to sit on them and through them. Seems to be a natural toy for them! Will definitely be getting more of these soon
