Bakuli Pods for Aquariums - Natural Addition for Shrimp, Snails, and Fish Tanks

Bakuli Pods are a natural and aesthetically pleasing addition to your aquarium, providing numerous benefits for your aquatic pets and enhancing the overall look of your tank. These high-quality Bakuli Pods are carefully sourced and prepared to create a safe, enriching environment for shrimp, snails, fish, and other invertebrates. With their unique shape and structure, Bakuli Pods offer both decorative appeal and practical benefits by releasing beneficial compounds and providing natural hiding spots.

Key Features:

  • Natural Source of Tannins: Bakuli Pods naturally release tannins into the water, helping to lower pH levels and create a slightly acidic environment that replicates the natural habitats of many freshwater species.
  • Hiding and Shelter: The distinctive hollow shape of Bakuli Pods provides excellent hiding spots and shelter for shrimp, snails, and small fish, reducing stress and encouraging natural behaviors such as foraging and molting.
  • Promotes Breeding: Ideal for breeding setups, these pods offer a safe space for shrimp and other invertebrates to breed, increasing the likelihood of successful reproduction.
  • Enhances Aquarium Aesthetics: Adds a rustic, natural look to your aquarium, creating a visually appealing environment that benefits your aquatic pets.
  • Safe and Eco-Friendly: Made from 100% natural Bakuli Pods, free from harmful chemicals or additives, ensuring the safety of your pets and the environment.

Benefits:

  • Perfect for Shrimp and Snails: Especially beneficial for Neocaridina, Caridina, Amano Shrimp, and various snail species, providing them with natural hiding places and habitat enrichment.
  • Easy to Use: Simply place the Bakuli Pods in your aquarium, allowing them to sink naturally and release beneficial tannins and other compounds into the water.
  • Multi-Functional: Suitable for daily habitat enrichment, breeding tanks, and as a natural decor element in both freshwater and planted aquariums.

Preparation and Usage Instructions:

  1. Preparation: Before adding Bakuli Pods to your aquarium, rinse them thoroughly under warm water. For faster sinking and to remove potential surface residues, boil the pods for 5-10 minutes.

  2. Usage: Add 1-2 Bakuli Pods per 20 liters (approximately 5 gallons) of water. Adjust the number based on the size of your tank and the needs of your aquatic pets.
  3. Maintenance: Bakuli Pods can remain in the aquarium until they decompose. Replace them if they begin to break down significantly to maintain a clean and healthy environment.
