Large Jungle Sterculia Pods (4 Pack)

One of our all-time favourite blackwater aquarium botanicals, not only is it a stunning looking botanical it is also functional. Making ideal hideaways for many species of fish and shrimp, such as dwarf cichlids and wild Betta. When the Sterculia pod becomes waterlogged it becomes somewhat malleable and can be easily worked into new shapes. If you are thinking about creating a flooded forest floor blackwater aquarium, this is the botanical for you.
