  • Discover a wide range of decorations for your freshwater aquarium: Sand, roots, resin decorations, etc. Everything is available in the different categories below.

    To best recreate a natural freshwater aquarium, we offer you a wide selection of roots and rocks.

    Choice of Stones

    From calcareous stones from Africa to non-calcareous stones from America, we currently have 25 varieties of rocks.

    The rocks will certainly create a healthy environment for your fish by providing hiding places, breeding spots, and resting areas.

    Note that rocks are sometimes very prominent in nature; in Africa, in Lake Tanganyika and Lake Malawi, the environment can be up to 90% rocky.

    Choice of Roots

    Regarding Mangrove, Mopani, Curlivigne, Broussa, Malaysia, and rare Vine roots, all are available for sale in your pet store and online.

    Roots provide great protection for fish, releasing tannin into your aquarium. Tannin has protective properties for fish, as it increases the production of mucus, which acts as a barrier against bacteria, fungus, and other common diseases in aquariums. Tannin-rich water also reduces the brightness in your aquarium. Experience shows that this naturally limits algae proliferation.

    In a similar style, cocos cava are coconut shells, often used for fish breeding, offering both a hiding place and a living area for many American dwarf cichlids.

    Choice of Bonsai

    Bonsai are reconstructed roots. Each bonsai is a unique piece handmade from an assembly of mountain wood, which is naturally grown and dried, creating the illusion of a hundred-year-old tree that will look stunning in your aquarium.

    This selection of rocks, roots, and bonsai will awaken the Aqua designer in you. Add depth to your decorations, plant harmoniously, transform your aquarium into a natural landscape, and most importantly, enjoy watching it.

    Find our range on the website now, as well as WYSIWYG roots (roots selected from photos).

    To properly meet the needs of your fish, make sure to offer a varied diet so they can obtain all the elements they need to thrive.

    Wide selection of food for freshwater fish

    Sometimes omnivorous, vegetarian, granivorous, or even carnivorous, it is imperative to provide a diet that suits each species of fish in your aquarium.

    Our advice: choose food of an appropriate size for your fish (food that is too small or too large may not necessarily be eaten by your fish, and it could end up at the bottom of your aquarium, causing significant pollution and potential algae problems).

    Some foods are also enriched with beta-carotene, which will result in more vibrant colors in your fish.
