Catappa bark tubes CeramicNature

The substances in the Catappa tubes bark (tanning substances) stimulate a compaction of the mucous membrane. Due to the compaction of the mucous membrane, the skin is better protected and the colors of the fish come out better. In addition, Catappa also contributes to more well-being and vitality.

When placed in the aquarium, catappa tubes will slowly break down, releasing tannins that turn the water yellow or brown. These tannins can lower the pH of the water and are said to kill bacteria and fungi, which is useful for vulnerable fish. The dark color of the water dims the light and imitates the natural habitat of many fish, which can help reduce stress. This is why many aquarists use the bark tubes in their tanks.

The CeramicNature bark tubes are a suitable product for taking care of the aquarium water in a natural way. Moreover, it is a beautiful decoration for the aquarium and terrarium.

The bark tubes do not need to be edited before they can be used. The dry bark tubes sink after a few days (1-2) and will fill up with water after a few days, after which they will sink to the bottom. After this, the active substances will be released. This process takes five to six weeks, after which you can leave it in the aquarium. Fish will use this as a hiding place or as a snack. Shrimp, catfish, L-numbers, etc. love the bark tubes and scrape them empty.
