Large Pink Tefte Flower Pods (4 Pack)

Add a distinctive botanical accent to your aquascape with Castle Dawn Aquatics Pink Tefte Flower Pods, a striking South American botanical ideal for blackwater aquariums and biotope setups. These naturally formed pods provide both visual interest and practical benefits, creating secure hideaways for shrimp, fry, and small fish.

Highly favoured by keepers of small mouthbrooding wild Betta species such as Betta albimarginata, Pink Tefte Flower Pods are often used as temporary shelter during holding and breeding behaviour. Their textured surface encourages biofilm growth, making them a natural grazing point for shrimp and bottom-dwelling species while subtly enhancing the realism of your blackwater scape.
