Aquatic Woodapple Pods – Exotic Natural Botanicals for Aquarium Enrichment
Safe for all fish and invertebrates | Pack of 4
Transform your aquarium into a beautiful, nature-inspired environment with Aquatic Woodapple Pods. Harvested from the Limonia acidissima tree—also known as the Woodapple or Elephant Apple tree—these uniquely textured pods are hand-collected after naturally falling, then cleaned and sun-dried to preserve their authentic look and beneficial properties. Completely free of pesticides and chemicals, they’re 100% natural and safe for all aquarium species.
Why Woodapple Pods Are Beneficial for Aquariums
Woodapple Pods are more than just striking natural décor—they actively enhance water quality and provide important habitat benefits. When submerged, they gradually release tannins and other organic compounds that help:
-
Support antimicrobial and antifungal balance in the aquarium
-
Naturally soften and slightly acidify the water
-
Reduce stress and promote healthy behavior in fish and shrimp
-
Encourage beneficial biofilm growth, providing a natural food source for shrimp, plecos, and snails
Their durable structure also makes them ideal as natural shelters, spawning sites, or decorative accents that mimic the forest floor of tropical streams.
How to Use Woodapple Pods
To introduce Woodapple Pods into your aquarium:
-
Rinse Thoroughly – Rinse the pods under warm running water to remove any dust or debris.
-
Pre-Soak (Optional) – Soak them in hot or warm water for several hours to help them sink faster and start releasing tannins.
-
Add to Aquarium – Place directly in your tank for natural décor or inside your filter compartment for gentle tannin infusion.
Adjust the number of pods based on your aquarium size and desired water tint.
Note: Each Woodapple Pod is unique in shape, size, and color. As a 100% natural product, slight variations are normal and enhance their authentic, organic appearance in your aquascape.
