Aquarium Botanical Pack for Shrimp, Betta & Blackwater Fish Tanks

Aquatic Botanical Pack for Natural Blackwater Aquariums

Transform your aquarium into a beautiful natural ecosystem with the BK's Paws Aquatic Botanical Pack. Carefully selected botanicals add an authentic riverbed appearance while providing shelter, grazing surfaces, and natural tannins that help recreate the environments many freshwater shrimp and fish thrive in.

As the botanicals slowly break down, they encourage the growth of biofilm—one of the favorite natural food sources for shrimp. The released tannins create beautiful tea-colored water and may help lower pH, making them especially beneficial for Caridina shrimp, Betta fish, Tetras, Rasboras, Corydoras, Apistogramma, and other blackwater species.

These botanicals are also perfect for terrariums, paludariums, vivariums, and bioactive enclosures, adding a natural decorative touch to any habitat.
