If you are new to aquatic botanicals, this botanical variety pack is a great place to start! Perfect for bettas, blackwater fish, tetras, and even goldfish. These botanicals are hand-selected for their durable nature, high tannin content, and medium recruitment of biofilms to help you embrace the natural processes of botanical aquariums. This pack does a great job of mimicking the forest floor of a North American habitat for vivariums and bioactive enclosures, with all materials loved by isopods, springtails, and other clean-up crews. The twigs in the variety pack will be from alder trees, oak trees, or hazelnut trees, and the alder cones are hand-collected in Northern Washington State. Our favorite aspect of this pack is how the magnolia leaves will leave behind an intricately patterned leaf skeleton, a fascinating element of a leaf litter bed.
Start using only a few items out of the #TanninBae Starter Pack at a time, see the changes that evolve in your aquarium, and then add 2 to 3 prepared pieces per 5 gallons every week until the desired look is achieved. This bag and its contents are biodegradable! Did you know our product packaging is made from renewable and sustainable sugarcane? So just like the botanicals inside, it will compost when returned to nature.
