Begin with 2–3 Alder cones and add more gradually only after observing the aquarium.
FEED
Offer the pellets and fast-dissolving blocks separately in small amounts.
LEAVE IN THE AQUARIUM
Alder cones remain as botanical texture, tannin context and grazing surfaces; no fixed replacement schedule is established.
REMOVE / CLEAN UP
Remove uneaten pellets after 24 hours. The calcium grazing blocks are intended to dissolve.
FEEDING COMPONENTS
Botanical Grazing Pellets
Supplementary grazing food; offer a small amount and remove uneaten pellets after 24 hours.
Calcium Grazing Blocks
Fast-dissolving mineral treats; offer small amounts and expect the blocks to dissolve.
ENRICHMENT & LASTING COMPONENTS
Alder Cones
Botanical texture, tannin context and additional grazing surfaces in the aquarium.
Some individual natural botanical materials in this bundle may also have separate naturalistic enclosure uses. This bundle itself is designed and sold as an aquarium feeding/enrichment route.
HOW THE BUNDLE WORKS
GRAZING FOOD
Botanical Grazing Pellets provide the slower consumable grazing route.
MINERAL TREAT
The coloured calcium blocks are fast-dissolving treats rather than lasting mineral pieces.
BOTANICAL GRAZING
Alder cones add natural texture, tannin context and grazing surfaces.
SAFE USE
Fast-dissolving blocks can create temporary cloudiness and are not long-lasting mineral blocks.
Avoid overfeeding and observe water quality, especially in nano aquariums or very soft water.
For aquarium use only. Not a medication and not for human consumption.
Product-specific answers
FAQ
Which parts are food and which stay in the aquarium?
The pellets and fast-dissolving blocks are consumable. The Alder cones provide the lasting botanical grazing and tannin route.
Do I need to use the whole bundle at once?
No. Begin with 2–3 Alder cones and offer the pellets and blocks separately in small amounts.
Why do the blocks disappear while the Alder cones remain?
The blocks are fast-dissolving mineral treats. Alder cones are natural botanical materials that remain as texture and grazing surfaces.
