Ceramic Nature Sapucaia Pod

Sapucaia Seed Pods (Lecythis pisonis) come from the Amazon Jungle in Peru. Can be used to both decorate the aquarium and for adding vital elements too in soft water set-ups. Long-lasting, their hard and woody structure means they are great for use in both aquariums and vivariums. Once they have become water logged and have sunk to the bottom of the tank, they will release lovely soft brown coloured tannins and biofilms will form on them. These make excellent natural caves for small fish such as dwarf cichlids and Plecos, along with amphibians such as Dart Frogs too.

Size: 10-15cm
 

Please note: These are natural products and will vary by size, shape and colour. The price is for one pod!

Scarlett F. ★★★★★

The ceramic texture feels surprisingly natural, and my shrimp have been picking at the pod's surface all week. Water parameters in my soft water setup stayed stable too.

Richard S. ★★★★★

Dropped one in my soft water tank and within a day the tannins had stained the water that perfect tea color my tetras seem to love. The ceramic finish means it won't break down and cloud things up the way real pods eventually do. Wish I'd grabbed two.

Leo J. ★★★★★

These are huge, way bigger than the pods I've bought before, and my corydoras immediately started ducking in and out of them. I dropped two in my soft water tank and they leached tannins for weeks, tinting the water that amber color my tetras seem to love.
