PRODUCT DETAILS
Open product details
What to watch
Watch shrimp use, biofilm, water clarity and how fast leaves soften.
This bundle is designed to give your aquarium leaf-litter grazing surfaces, gentle tannins, a warm tea tint and real structure with hiding spots for shrimp, fry and small fish.
HOW TO USE / LAYOUT GUIDANCE
- In hard water with higher KH, pH change is usually small; the main effects are colour, natural behaviour and grazing benefits.

AQUARIUM PRODUCT STORY
Build the box as a natural habitat route
These are illustrative product-world scenes, not customer proof or review images. They help customers understand the habitat, packing and staged-use context before buying.
FEATURE PIECE
Set the largest structural botanical first and build the smaller materials around it.
OPEN ROUTES
Leave open sand and swimming space instead of filling the entire substrate.
GRAZING SURFACES
Spread leaves and textured pieces so shrimp and small fish can explore multiple surfaces.
SHELTER
Use pods and harder forms to create cover without turning the whole aquarium into one dense pile.
PREPARATION & SAFETY
PREPARATION
- Rinse all botanicals thoroughly before use. Do not use soap, detergents or household chemicals.
- If needed, pre-soak harder pieces for 1–7 days to help them sink and to reduce the strongest initial tint.
- A white or translucent biofilm may appear as botanicals begin to soften. This is a normal part of botanical decomposition and is commonly grazed by shrimp and snails.
SAFETY
- Add botanicals gradually, particularly in small aquariums or very soft, low-KH water.
- Botanicals are not a treatment and do not guarantee a specific pH, GH or KH change.
- Remove or reduce botanical material if livestock show signs of stress.
- For ornamental aquarium / hobby use only. Not for human consumption. Keep away from children and pets.
- Botanicals may release tannins and soften the visual tone of the water.
- Effects vary depending on tank size, KH, pH, filtration and how much is used.
