Lotus Pod Pack of 3 – tannin-rich natural decoration for blackwater aquariums and terrariums
The Lotus Pod in a pack of 3 is an impressive, natural lotus seed pod for blackwater biotopes, shrimp aquariums and natural-looking aquascapes. With its distinctive shape and numerous cavities, it adds a striking accent to the aquarium whilst also providing small hiding places and grazing areas for shrimp and small fish. The lotus pod gradually releases valuable tannins into the water. These can give the aquarium water a slight amber colour and help to create a natural blackwater environment.
Particularly tropical fish species benefit from an environment that resembles their natural habitat. The Lotus Pod in a pack of 3 is 100 % natural and chemical-free and is ideal for combining with Catappa leaves, alder cones or Cholla wood. This creates an authentic, natural arrangement for aquariums with soft, slightly acidic water.
The Lotus Pod in a pack of 3 can also be used in a variety of ways in terrarium keeping. The natural pods provide ideal retreat and hiding places for isopods, small invertebrates and microfauna thanks to their numerous cavities. Particularly in natural-looking terrariums or bioactive setups, they support a varied environment whilst also serving as a decorative natural element.

Vesicularia sp.
CHF 12.90
Vesicularia sp. – In vitro plant, 6 cm potVesicularia sp. are mosses that form large, dense mats and grow over decorations, stones and roots. They reproduce by division of the plant. They are easy to care for and are recommended for humid terrariums and aquariums. Supplied as an in vitro plant.
Key featuresDifficulty level: easyLight requirement: low to mediumCO₂ requirement: lowFinal height: up to 10 cmGrowth rate: low to mediumTemperature: 18–28 °CPlacement in the aquarium: on decorationsOrigin: South-East AsiaCup size: 6 cm diameter
Mosses are unique yet low-maintenance plants. Compared to traditional aquarium plants, they differ significantly in appearance. They have no true roots, and their stems and leaves are greatly reduced. They grow in the form of green mats that attach to various surfaces in the aquarium.
Vesicularia spreads by creeping over decorative elements and the substrate. With regular trimming and appropriate shaping, it quickly forms a dense, green carpet. The moss should be attached to a decorative element, for example with cotton thread, thin fishing line or special plant glue.This plant has virtually no special requirements regarding water parameters. It grows well under almost all conditions; water hardness, pH value and lighting can be largely arbitrary. CO₂ supplementation is not required either. Propagation is by dividing the plant into smaller pieces. Pruning and shaping are well tolerated and promote attractive, dense growth.In vitro cultures are free from:BacteriaFungiAlgaeannoying snails
