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.
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.

Great set with a great variety. Great way to add additional hiding places. Would purchase again.
The cutest little pods, I can't wait to put them in my tanks
Perfect size for my 5 gallons!!
I put one in my endler’s livebearers 5gallon and they love picking at it. One was finally brave enough to go inside after a couple days. Might put another one in next week. Highly recommended for small fish.
I love adding leaves into my tanks for the color of tannins. These are a great size to get into the back of the tank. I also love adding for quarantine tanks for extra protection
I ordered the 4 pack and they were beyond expectations. They are much larger than anticipated and fit very nicely into my two tanks. They were so large that I put an additional one into my crested gecko tank and he also loves to lounge in it. My sorority loves these for individual hides and my male loves sleeping in them. Definitely recommend, I also boiled them for 1 hour so they would sink in tank.
This is a cool looking botanical. It looks great in tannin-colored water. My betta has been checking it out.
My shrimp absolutely love the food plus there is so much in a container! Also you get a free sample of their pumpkin shrimp food!!
