Aquarium river root 40–55 cm

A piece of nature for your aquarium

Give your aquarium a unique, natural aesthetic while creating an ideal habitat for your aquarium inhabitants with this beautiful natural river root in size S.

In the natural biotopes of many fish and invertebrates, roots play an essential role as hiding places, spawning grounds and for marking territory. This real root offers exactly these important functions.

Product highlights

• Authentic look: Each root is unique! The individual shape and natural, warm wood colour blend harmoniously into any aquascaping concept and add a real eye-catcher to your underwater world.
• Important shelter: Create niches and hiding places that offer safety and reduce stress for shy or young fish.
• Positive water values: Over time, natural roots release valuable humic and tannic substances into the water. These substances can slightly acidify the water, which is beneficial for many tropical fish species, inhibit the growth of algae and protect the mucous membranes of the fish.
• Ideal size S: With an approximate size of 40 to 55 cm, this root is perfect for nano aquariums or as a discreet but effective decorative element in larger tanks.

Before placing in the aquarium:

• Cleaning: Carefully brush the root under running water to remove loose particles.
• Soaking: We recommend soaking the root for a few days before use (e.g. in a bucket). This serves to wash out excess tannins and allow the root to soak up water so that it sinks in the aquarium later.
• Weighting: If the root still floats at first, you can simply weigh it down with a stone until it stays on the bottom by itself.

Create a natural environment in which your fish feel completely at home!
