Special Features

  • Create a Beautiful, Natural Aquarium – Elevate your aquarium decor with the Galapagos Bioactive Botanicals Kit, which includes 9 Casuarina cones, 5 Indian Almond leaves, and 2 pieces of Indian Almond Bark. These botanicals add a natural, textured touch that mimics the wild environments of tropical fish, making them perfect for Betta fish tanks, shrimp tanks, or any freshwater aquarium.
  • Support Healthy Water Conditions – The Casuarina cones and Indian Almond leaves slowly release tannins into your aquarium, helping to lower pH levels and reduce water hardness. These natural compounds create a blackwater effect, enhancing your tank's aesthetics and providing a healthy, stable environment for your fish. It's perfect for species like Betta fish, shrimp, and Apistogramma cichlids that thrive in slightly acidic water.
  • Enhance Fish Health & Behavior – Casuarina cones and Indian Almond Bark offer natural hiding spots and shelter for smaller fish, shrimp, and invertebrates. The textured surfaces encourage the growth of biofilm, providing a natural grazing surface for shrimp, catfish, and other bottom-dwellers. These botanicals support your fish's natural behaviors while creating a more stress-free, thriving environment.
  • Non-Toxic & Easy to Use – Made from 100% natural, pesticide-free materials, our botanicals are completely safe for your fish, plants, and invertebrates. Simply boil the botanicals for 30–60 minutes before adding them to your tank to remove excess tannins and ensure your water stays balanced. It's that easy!
  • Versatile & Beautiful Decor – Whether you're setting up a blackwater biotope, enhancing a Betta fish tank, or adding a natural touch to a shrimp aquarium, these botanicals are perfect for all types of aquatic scapes. They're also great for use in hermit crab enclosures, as leaf litter, and even as a natural decoration in fish tank accessories like aquarium gravel and substrate.

Description

Create a Thriving, Natural Aquarium with Galapagos Bioactive Botanicals
Bring the beauty of nature into your betta fish tank, shrimp tank, or freshwater aquarium with the Galapagos Bioactive Botanicals Kit. This carefully curated set includes 9 Casuarina cones, 5 Indian Almond Leaves (Catappa) measuring 5”–8”, and 2 pieces of Indian Almond Bark, all designed to enhance your tank's health and aesthetics.
Casuarina cones and Indian Almond Leaves release tannins into the water, gently lowering pH levels and softening water hardness, creating a natural blackwater effect. This is ideal for species that thrive in acidic environments, including Betta fish, shrimp, and Apistogramma cichlids. The blackwater setup also enhances fish coloration, reduces stress, and replicates the natural conditions of tropical rivers and streams.
Beyond water conditioning, these botanicals provide numerous benefits for shrimp and bottom-dwelling fish. Over time, Casuarina cones and bark develop biofilm, serving as a natural food source for shrimp and catfish. The bark also curls into tubes, offering shelter and hiding spots for small fish, shrimp, and snails, making this kit an excellent addition to shrimp tanks and aquascapes.
Additionally, Indian Almond Leaves and bark are known for helping prevent fish and shrimp diseases naturally. Whether you're looking to improve betta fish tank decor, enhance your aquarium substrate, or provide leaf litter for shrimp tanks, this kit offers a functional and visually appealing solution.
How to Use:
For best results, boil botanicals for 30–60 minutes before introducing them to your aquarium. This process helps remove excess tannins and ensures a safe, balanced water environment.
