Description
Create a natural blackwater environment and support the wellbeing of your aquatic livestock with Hobby Alder Cones. Harvested from alder trees, these natural cones gradually release beneficial tannins and humic substances into aquarium water, helping to replicate the conditions found in many tropical habitats.
Popular among shrimp keepers, betta enthusiasts, and breeders, alder cones naturally lower pH in soft water environments and create a more natural habitat for freshwater fish and invertebrates. They also provide shelter and grazing surfaces for shrimp while enhancing the aquarium's natural appearance.
Each pack contains approximately 50 alder cones, making it an economical and long-lasting addition to freshwater aquariums.
