Sell [Local Ready Stock] Alder cones natural catkins best price

Alder cones are water quality enhancing botanicals which are mainly used for ‘water conditioning’. Alder cones can lower the pH of the aquarium which in turn not only stimulate the breeding of some fish but also act as an anti-fungal agent and elevates the hatching rate of fish eggs in certain species. Effects of pH rely on the hardness of the water, the harder the water the lower the effect on pH. Being a rich source of the tannic acid, it is extensively used by the shrimp and betta breeders. Upon application to water, the color of the water readily changes to hues of brown due to the release of the humic acids. Use: Put the Alder Cones directly into the aquarium water. 1 cone is sufficient for approx. 10 - 20 liters. Size: 2~3cm per piece Packing: 12~15pcs per pack, approximately 20g per pack
