FAQs

Is this bark tube safe for my aquarium? Yes, it is a completely natural product derived from the Catappa tree and is perfectly safe for all freshwater fish, shrimp, and invertebrates. 

Do I need to replace the bark tube? Over time, the bark will slowly break down and be grazed upon by shrimp and certain bottom-dwellers. Once it has significantly degraded, you can simply replace it with a fresh tube to maintain the beneficial tannin release.

Will this alter the colour of my aquarium water? Yes, as it releases beneficial tannins, it may give your aquarium water a natural, slight amber or tea-coloured tint. This is completely harmless and actually mimics the natural, healthy environment of many tropical fish species.
