"Helix Pods"

"Helix Pods" have a cool curved form and a smooth, woody appearance and texture. The fruit of Caesalpinia pulcherrima, widely distributed throughout the tropics, these distinctive pods make great little foraging areas for characins, catfishes, shrimp, dwarf cichlids, catfish, and even some killies. 

Just like with our other pods, these are perfect to help cover open substrate and supplement leaf litter to simulate the materials which accumulate in tropical streams and flooded forests. 

"Helix Pods" average about 3.5"-4.5"(8.89-11.43cm) in length, with a width of about 1"(2.54cm), so they fit into modest spaces, too.

PREPARATION: You'll need to boil them for at least 15 minutes (sometimes a bit more) to waterlog them, because they do float when first immersed. 

ORIGIN: Africa
