Extra Large Monkey Pot (Sapucainha pod)

Monkey pots are popular among our blackwater enthusiasts who enjoy South American biotopes. These botanicals are large and serve as a great hideout and breeding ground for South American species, especially Apistogrammas. Additionally, monkey pots are visually appealing and make for a great centrepiece for your blackwater aquarium. 

Not only that, but they are also a hit among our amphibian keepers as they serve as ideal water wells for Pacman toads, tree frogs, and poison darts. Monkey pods are a cost-effective option, as they can last for years in the aquarium environment before fully breaking down.
