Lotus Pods – 3 Pack (Natural Aquarium Botanicals)

The Iconic Botanical That Does It All

Lotus pods are one of the most recognizable botanicals in the aquarium hobby — and for good reason. Their striking honeycomb structure is instantly eye-catching, making them a centrepiece in any aquascape. But they're far more than decoration. As they slowly break down, they release tannins and humic acids that naturally condition your water, creating the kind of rich, organic environment that shrimp, bettas, and blackwater fish love.

Their hollow chambers also serve as natural hideouts for small shrimp and fry, giving your tank inhabitants a sense of security while adding incredible visual depth to your setup.

Benefits:

• Iconic honeycomb structure adds a dramatic focal point to any aquascape
• Releases tannins that soften water and gently lower pH
• Hollow chambers provide shelter for shrimp, fry, and small fish
• Biofilm growth on pod surface offers a natural grazing spot for shrimp
• Slow decomposition — one of the longest-lasting botanicals available

How to Use:

Rinse pods before adding to your tank. Lotus pods are buoyant at first — soak in boiling water for 10–15 minutes or weigh them down until waterlogged. Once sunk, place on the substrate as a feature piece. They'll last months before needing replacement.

Each pack contains 3 premium dried Lotus Pods, hand-selected for shape and quality.
