The EXTRA SMALL bag of Bracken Fern Fragments makes for a perfect food source for shrimp, snails and shrimp and can also be used as accents in a blackwater or scaped aquarium.

Why use botanicals?

Here at AFK we enjoy using botanicals in almost all of our setups! Here’s Why:

1. Natural Habitat Simulation: Botanicals like leaves, wood, and seed pods mimic natural environments, providing shelter and reducing stress for fish and invertebrates.

2. Water Quality Improvement: They release tannins and other compounds that can help lower pH, inhibit harmful bacteria, and promote a healthier ecosystem.

3. Aesthetic Appeal: Botanicals add visual interest and create a more dynamic aquascape, enhancing the overall beauty of your aquarium.

AFK Botanicals:
