Bring a fascinating piece of South American wilderness directly into your aquarium: The SP Hornpod is a beautiful, purely natural hiding place for your tank inhabitants. This extraordinary seed pod comes from the Brazilian region, where it grows on mighty rainforest trees. With its naturally beautiful, earthy coloring and its uneven, characteristically curved shape, it adds wild, natural accents to any sophisticated aquascape.

Your advantages at a glance:

• Species-appropriate sanctuary: The capsule's tube- or pocket-like opening offers the perfect, darkened shelter. It is optimally tailored to the natural needs of shrimp and dwarf crayfish, who seek protection from stress and potential predators here.
• Abundant source of humic substances: The hornpod releases valuable humic substances into the aquarium water over a very long period. These demonstrably promote the vitality of your charges, support the molting of crustaceans, and strengthen the immune system of the entire stock.
  (Note: Humic substances can lead to a biologically valuable and absolutely harmless, amber-colored water tint.)
• Premium quality: Our hornpods are completely untreated and have been specially gently dried. They are absolutely free of harmful substances or pesticides – maximum safety for your sensitive invertebrates.

💡 Important application note (Watering):

As it is a pure natural product, the hornpod should be pre-soaked in a separate container for at least 2-3 days before being introduced into the aquarium. Please change the water daily with fresh water. This thorough soaking prevents it from floating in the tank and gently leaches out initial, concentrated tannins.
