Swietenia Pods

Swietenia Pods are natural botanical additions designed to enhance the appearance and biological balance of freshwater aquariums. Perfect for shrimp tanks, betta setups and blackwater biotopes, these decorative pods release beneficial tannins while providing natural grazing surfaces and shelter for aquatic life.

As they slowly break down, Swietenia Pods create a more natural environment by encouraging biofilm growth - an essential food source for shrimp and microfauna. They also offer hiding spaces for fry and shy fish, helping reduce stress and promote natural behaviour.

Each pod is unique in shape and texture, adding organic structure and depth to aquascapes while supporting a healthy ecosystem.

Care & Preparation Instructions:

• Rinse thoroughly before use

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

• Pods may float initially; weighing down or pre-soaking will help them sink

• Replace once fully broken down
