I added one Buddha Nutpod husk to my shrimp tank and noticed a visible drop in pH after a week. My baby shrimp seem more active and less stressed. The pod broke down slowly and didn’t cloud the water. Great for creating hiding spots and supporting fish health.

Used three husks in my Corydoras tank. The fish are more relaxed and I’ve seen fewer signs of fungal outbreaks. The pods are sturdy and last longer than expected. A little slow to break down, but worth it for the benefits.

Perfect for a beginner shrimp keeper. The husks are easy to add and the tannin release helps maintain a stable, natural environment. My bettas have been thriving since I started using them.
