Pack of Dried Pear Half Pods 12 pcs.
(Pod size ~ approx. 1.5"-2.5" ea.)
Pear Pods release beneficial acids and tannins into aquarium water and naturally tan aquarium water. Over time these pods will develop a thin biofilm that can provide an excellent food source for invertebrates. Pear pods also have a mild anti-bacterial and anti fungal effect.
Recommendations:
- Add a few pods at a time as the amount of tannins released may vary. For a 2-gallon Betta fish tank, start by adding 2-3 pods.
- To slightly reduce the tanning effect and help pods sink, soak pods in water for 24-48 hours before adding to the tank.
- To greatly reduce the tanning effect, boil pods for 15-20 minutes before adding into the tank (optional). This will release tannins, help the pods to sink, and keep the aquarium water from turning brown.
