WIO Lotus Pod is a natural botanical "Lotus" pod from WIO (World In an Ocean) — the dried seed head of the lotus — an instantly recognizable, sculptural pod with its honeycomb of openings, equally striking as a centerpiece and as a shrimp hideout. Like all botanicals, it slowly releases tannins as it steeps, gently tinting and softening the water and growing the biofilm that shrimp and fry graze on, while adding striking natural detail to a blackwater or nature-style aquascape.
Good to Know: Botanical pods are prized in shrimp and nature aquascaping — they provide grazing surfaces for ornamental shrimp (Neocaridina like cherries, and Caridina like crystals and Taiwan bees), shelter and foraging interest, and authentic natural texture. They're a centerpiece of the leaf-litter "blackwater" look that's so popular in aquascaping.
How to Use: Rinse, then steep or boil briefly to help it sink, and place it in the scape. Leave it to break down slowly and replace as desired. Expect a natural tea-colored tint many aquascapers love.
