Nature4Pets Lotus Pods are natural dried lotus seed pods used as decorative and functional elements in aquariums, shrimp tanks and biotope setups. Their unique structure provides shelter, grazing surfaces and a natural look that blends perfectly into aquascaping and nature-style layouts.
Lotus pods slowly release natural tannins, helping to create a more authentic environment for shrimp, catfish and other bottom-dwelling species. Over time, they develop a beautiful natural patina while remaining structurally stable in water.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are lotus pods safe for shrimp?
Yes. They are commonly used in shrimp tanks and provide both shelter and grazing surfaces.
Do lotus pods affect water parameters?
They may release mild tannins, which can slightly tint the water but do not negatively affect water parameters.
Will the pods float?
Initially, they may float. Pre-soaking helps them sink faster.
How long do lotus pods last in an aquarium?
They break down very slowly and can last many months while maintaining their structure.
