HOW TO USE THIS BUNDLE

START: Rinse the Catappa, Alder and Cholla. An optional pre-soak can be used for the natural materials.
PLACE: Add Catappa and Cholla first, then begin with 2–3 Alder cones.
FEED: Offer the pellets in a small amount and use the fast-dissolving blocks sparingly. Feed them separately from the natural materials.
LEAVE IN THE AQUARIUM: Catappa, Alder and Cholla remain as botanical grazing, cover and structure materials; 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; use sparingly and expect the blocks to dissolve rather than remain as lasting mineral blocks.

ENRICHMENT & LASTING COMPONENTS

Catappa Leaves

Leaf-litter and botanical grazing surfaces that add natural cover and tannin context.

Alder Cones

Botanical texture, tannin context and additional grazing surfaces.

Cholla Pieces

Cover, structure and a lasting surface for grazing and biofilm development.

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

Pellets and fast-dissolving blocks provide the consumable side of the kit.

BOTANICAL GRAZING

Catappa leaves and Alder cones add natural surfaces and botanical context.

COVER & STRUCTURE

Cholla creates physical cover and a lasting grazing surface.

SAFE USE

Fast-dissolving blocks can create temporary cloudiness and are not long-lasting mineral blocks.
Avoid overfeeding and monitor water quality and livestock response.
For aquarium use only. Not a medication and not for human consumption.

Product-specific answers

FAQ

Which components are food and which remain in the aquarium?

The pellets and fast-dissolving blocks are consumable. Catappa, Alder and Cholla provide botanical grazing surfaces, cover and structure in the aquarium.

Do I need to add everything at once?

No. Rinse and place the natural materials first, begin with 2–3 Alder cones and feed the pellets and blocks separately in small amounts.

Why are the calcium grazing blocks not listed as lasting mineral support?

These blocks are fast-dissolving treats. They are intended to dissolve and may create temporary cloudiness rather than remain as long-lasting mineral blocks.
