This resource is here to help walk you down the right path, and spark curiosity about this fantastic community and niche of the hobby.

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
I combined these with marupa leaves for the different textures and they pair wonderfully. Would recommend for an ecosystem!
I combined these with cow ears and a few other botanicals from Ben and I'm very impressed in how they look in the tank. They seem to be a harder leaf so I'm excited to see how they breakdown
I got 4 of these to act as natural caves for my apistogramma tank. I reached out and Ben helped me get tbe perfect sizes I was looking for. Sank almost immediately and the fish love them!
They look great in my aquariums, and the shrimp are loving them.
