Frangipani Flower Stems (70 Pack)

Frangipani Flower Stems appear to almost bloom underwater, creating a truly elegant and natural focal point in blackwater aquarium aquascapes. These delicate botanicals are a firm favourite among Caridina and Neocaridina shrimp keepers, as shrimp eagerly graze on the surface as biofilm develops.

Despite their small size, Frangipani Flower Stems release a surprisingly high level of tannins, gradually tinting the water a rich, dark red colour that closely resembles natural forest streams and flooded habitats. They are ideal for blackwater aquariums, shrimp tanks, and natural biotope setups where aesthetics and function go hand in hand.

As with all Castle Dawn Aquatics botanicals, these flower stems are organically sourced, chemical-free, and naturally sun-dried without the use of ethanol.
