Cocoa Pods are natural botanical additions perfect for shrimp tanks, betta aquariums and blackwater setups. These decorative pods add rich, organic texture to your aquascape while slowly releasing tannins that help create a more natural, biotope-style environment.

As they gradually break down, Cocoa Pods promote the growth of biofilm - an essential food source for shrimp and other microfauna. Their hollow structure also provides excellent hiding places for shrimp, fry and shy fish, helping to reduce stress and encourage natural behaviour.

Each pod is unique in shape and sise, adding depth and character to freshwater aquariums while supporting a balanced ecosystem.

Care & Preparation Instructions:

  • Rinse thoroughly before use

  • Soak in water prior to adding if you wish to reduce initial tannin release

  • Pods may float at first; pre-soaking will help them sink

  • Replace once fully decomposed
