Furthermore, it provides more surface area for animals such as shrimp without having to increase the tank size. In the nano aquarium, a variety of invertebrates (such as shrimp, snails, crabs, and crayfish) and fish will greatly appreciate the refuge of Catappa Bark as well as the natural benefits that it offers. Catappa Fruit is very useful with fish that thrive in blackwater and acidic habitats, such as Discus and Bettas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOur Catappa Fruit packs include 2 oz (56.7 g) of this excellent natural botanical.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Catappa Fruit is sourced from 100% pesticide and chemical-free areas and is safe to add directly to the aquarium. This fruit can be allowed to fully decompose in the aquarium.
