Description
Lotus Pods are ideal decor for blackwater tanks
as well as many other setups, providing shelter to fry and small species of
shrimp, crabs, crayfish, snails, and fish while maintaining a natural look in
the aquarium. They also serve as an ideal growth medium for biofilm and
diatoms, both of which are key food sources to countless aquatic animal
species, including shrimp and other invertebrates as well as fish.
Lotus Pods also have buffering qualities. As they decompose,
they release tannins (tercatin, punicalin, punicalagin) that lower the pH of
the aquarium, but at a gradual rate. This is particularly beneficial for
aquatic animals that require acidic, low-pH water. Lotus Pods can also be used
sparingly in high-pH setups as well.
