Mini Lotus Flower Seed Pods (12 Pack)

Handpicked by us at Castle Dawn Aquatics, these Mini Lotus Flower Seed Pods are a charming and functional addition to any blackwater or shrimp aquarium. Their small, natural cavities make them ideal hideouts for shrimp fry and small fish, while their fibrous surface encourages biofilm growth, providing a constant source of natural food.

Commonly used in Southeast China for their antioxidant properties, lotus pods have long been associated with improving fish health and maintaining stable aquarium conditions. Please note that these pods take time to become fully waterlogged – a little patience is key!
