Guava seed pods, harvested from the Psidium guajava tree, are a natural and versatile addition to aquariums, terrariums, and vivariums.
For Aquariums:
•Natural Aesthetic: Guava seed pods provide a rustic and tropical look to aquariums, replicating natural underwater habitats.
•Water Quality Enhancement: These pods release tannins, which help to lower pH, soften the water, and promote a balanced ecosystem beneficial for fish and invertebrates.
•Antibacterial Properties: Guava seed pods are known for their natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, supporting the health of aquatic inhabitants.
•Stress Reduction: The pods create hiding spaces for fish, shrimp, and other aquatic species, helping to reduce stress and encourage natural behaviors.
•Safe and Non-Toxic: When properly cleaned, guava seed pods are safe for all aquarium species.
For Terrariums and Vivariums:
•Aesthetic Value: The unique shape and natural texture of guava seed pods add a decorative element to terrariums and vivariums, enhancing their visual appeal.
•Enrichment and Exploration: The pods encourage natural behaviors such as climbing, hiding, and foraging in reptiles, amphibians, and small animals.
•Humidity Control: Guava seed pods retain moisture, helping to maintain the high humidity levels essential for tropical species like frogs, geckos, and newts.
•Natural Shelter: These pods provide shaded areas and secure hiding spots, reducing stress and creating a more comfortable environment for your pets.
•Eco-Friendly: Guava seed pods are biodegradable and an environmentally sustainable choice for pet habitats.
NOTE: Due the structure of the Guavapod some might crack once soaked, to prevent this as much as possible make sure the pod gets soaked in cold water DO NOT BOIL!!
SIZE: They vary in size, yet average around 4-7cm in diameter. These pods will leach some tannins into the water over the long term.
