Freshwater Aquarium Root
Natural roots have very interesting and ideal shapes for recreating the natural environment in your aquarium. The tannin naturally released by the root helps create perfect water. Before introducing your root into the aquarium, it is best to boil it for 1 to 2 hours so that it soaks up water.
Natural mangrove roots will release tannin for several weeks. This creates a slightly amber water that will delight your fish, in addition to providing shelter and support for your plants and mosses. This tannin is highly appreciated by Amazonian fish (such as discus).
Natural mopani roots are beautiful roots with sinuous shapes. However, these roots release very little tannin. Therefore, they will not tint the water in your aquarium, which is perfectly suitable for cold water fish (18 to 22°C) or African Cichlids.
