Seed Pods and Cones

Dynamic substrates in nature contain an abundance of seed pods and cones from the forest canopy above. Our aquarium botanicals help to mimic the natural environment of many aquarium fish which we keep, not just Bettas! Botanical materials like seed pods and cones can be quite durable, full of beneficial tannins, and can provide hiding spaces for your fish.
