Lotus pod
The seed pods of the Indian lotus flower Nelumbo nucifera have many small holes in which shrimps and small juvenile catfish can hide and find food. These natural hiding places blend harmoniously into a near-natural tank. Tannic acid, phenols and other compounds leached from lotus pods appear to have anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-parasitic properties. All of our aquatic botanicals need to be boiled for at least an hour to saturate them before use. This is a natural product and variation between leaves and botanicals is expected.
