Used in Aquariums & Terrariums

Water Conditioning: They slowly release tannins and humic acids into the water, which gently lower the pH and create a healthy "blackwater" environment.

Antifungal & Antibacterial: The tannins they release are natural inhibitors that protect fish eggs and livestock from infections.

Foraging & Biofilm: As they degrade, they provide a great surface for nutritious biofilm to grow, making them an excellent supplemental food source for freshwater shrimp and fry.

How to Prepare Pods: To use them in aquatic habitats, you should boil the pods for 15-20 minutes. This will help leach out excess tannins and saturates the wood, making it easier so the pods will sink to the bottom.
