Twigs, bark, and stems help create a dynamic leaf litter bed, provide foraging and resting spots for fish, and divide territories. These products come from around the globe and are a bit smaller than our manzanita wood. Some are quite high in tannins, some grow biofilms beyond your wildest dreams, and others just look cool underwater.

Build Your Ecosystem

Aquarium botanicals have varying levels of durability, which is predictive of the leafs waxy coating and the seed pods woody composition. All types are equally important to the botanical aquarium as they build different layers of the ecosystem.
