White Oak Acorn Cups (70 Pack)

We find botanicals such as acorn cups make a great final touch to a blackwater aquarium scape for a more realistic finish. They produce a natural biofilm that is enjoyed by Caridina and Neocaridina shrimp as well as many species of Plecos and Ancistrus. They make great little hideaways for small fry and shrimplets and produce a lot of tannins considering their size. Mix with turkey oak acorns to diversify your aquascape.
