Description

The Brazil Nut is a special natural product made from the halved nut shells of the Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa) from South America. This shell has been carefully processed and features a hole serving as an entrance. Shrimp, crabs, and crayfish love to use the Brazil nut shell as a hiding spot and retreat, simulating their natural habitat in the aquarium.

The Brazil Nut with Entrance contributes to the natural design of your aquarium and provides protection and security for its inhabitants. The rough texture and attractive surface of the nut shell make it a decorative addition to any aquarium. Additionally, the nut shell slowly releases humic substances and tannins into the water, improving water quality and providing a mild antibacterial effect.

Due to its robust nature, the Brazil nut shell quickly sinks to the bottom of the aquarium and remains there. It is also an excellent substrate for mosses and epiphytes, which can anchor themselves to the surface. The shell is versatile and fits both smaller nano aquariums and larger aquascapes. It is a wonderful addition to any aquarium, adding a special charm with its natural aesthetics.

Usage

Soak the Brazil nut shell well before placing it in the aquarium. As the shell is heavy, it sinks quickly and creates an attractive focal point in the aquarium. It can remain in the water until it completely decomposes.
