Barks & Husks

Barks & Husks help create a dynamic leaf litter bed, provide foraging and resting spots for fish, and divide territories. These products come from around the globe, some are quite high in tannins, some grow biofilms beyond your wildest dreams, and others just look cool underwater. Many of our barks and husks can add an exotic look to a bioactive enclosure for dart frogs or geckos - remember, we aren't just for Bettas!
