Magnolia Flower Shoots (70 Pack)

Add a unique and decorative botanical accent to your blackwater aquarium with Magnolia Flower Shoots. These dried flower shoots slowly open once submerged, creating natural shelters that are ideal for fry, shrimplets, and small invertebrates.

Magnolia flower shoots are not only visually striking but also highly functional. As they condition in the aquarium, they promote biofilm development, providing an excellent alternative food source for Caridina and Neocaridina shrimp, plecos, and other bottom-dwelling species. Their moderate tannin release gently enhances water colour while supporting a balanced soft-water environment.

All Castle Dawn Aquatics botanicals are organically sourced and naturally sun-dried without the use of chemicals or ethanol.
