Whole Large Palm Branch Leaf (6 Pack)
These stunning palm branches are nearly 1 foot long and make an excellent focal point in any blackwater biotope aquarium. They can be placed into the aquarium whole or broken into smaller sections and layered to create depth, structure, and a truly natural look.
Palm branches are one of those botanicals that instantly bring a biotope aquascape together and are a firm favourite among experienced aquascapers. Their size, texture, and gradual tannin release make them ideal for larger blackwater displays and naturalistic layouts.
⚠️ Important Safety Note:
Our palm branches are sourced exclusively from Phoenix canariensis and do not release cycasin, a toxin found in many other palm species that can be harmful to aquarium inhabitants. Please be cautious when purchasing palm branches from unknown sources, as not all palm species are aquarium safe.
