AAA Casuarina Cones-20pcs

Casuarina cones provide the same benefits but are a little larger and break down slower than alder cones 

Casuarina Cones gives a unique application of tannins, humic acid, and habitat. Casuarina cones provide tannins, lower pH, have anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, enhance coloration and increase spawning behavior. The tannins released from these pieces create a more natural environment for Bettas, shrimp and other fish. Casuraina cones contain humic acids and tannins which are known to have antibacterial properties, naturally lower pH and create blackwater conditions in the aquarium. 

Casuarina Cones are suitable for all soft-water fish including betta, discus, tetras, angelfish, and killifish.

Recommended application: Add 1-2 small cones per gallon. We recommend boil pods for approximately 20 minutes .

Replace when tissue is decomposed or consumed.

• No equipment restrictions necessary
• Tannic acid can lower pH, monitor pH with a test kit during use and limit any change to 0.2 pH units per day if livestock are present
• Safe for invertebrates
• Overdosed? Observe livestock for distress, perform small water changes if needed

PREPARATION: We like to steep them in boiling water for about 20 minutes or so prior to use. This helps saturate them so they sink, and releases any surface dirt. 

NOTE: The photo is for illustrative purposes. As these are a natural product, expect variation in the appearance of the cones that you will receive.
