Characteristics of Beetal Pods botanicals
Beetal Pods release beneficial substances (tannins and tannic acids) into the aquarium water. The effects of these substances are comparable to those of Catappa leaves. For example, these substances ensure that the pH is lowered naturally. In addition, these substances have an antibacterial and stress-reducing effect. Beetal Pods give the water a brown color and are therefore also suitable for creating a blackwater biotope.
Preparation: You will need to boil these pods for at least 20 minutes (sometimes a little longer) to immerse them (because they float when first dipped).
Note: These are a natural product and vary in color, size and texture. Each unit is unique! The photo serves as an indicative representation.
