These versatile botanicals are derived from coconut shells (Cocos nucifera), and are really cool-looking "accent pieces" for a tropical stream biotope aquarium! Each one has a very unique shape, and they lend themselves well to all sorts of aquascaping purposes. Oh- and they release a lot of tannins!
Shrimp and Plecos seem to love grazing on them. We love to use them to cover open substrate and supplement leaf litter to simulate the materials found in tropical stream beds. They range in size from about 1.5"-3" (3.81-7.62cm) in length.
PREPARATION: You'll need to boil them for at least an hour (sometimes a bit more) to waterlog them, because they are really quite light and readily float when first immersed!
ORIGIN: South America/Asia

Always go slow when introducing any botanicals into your systems, so you can judge the effect they have on your fishes and plants. They are not intended for human consumption. DO NOT INGEST!
