Category: Aquarium Aquatic Aquascaping Botanicals

Chrysanthemum flowers make a beautiful and functional addition to blackwater aquariums, offering both visual interest and natural grazing opportunities for shrimp. Once submerged, these dried flowers gradually open in the water, creating an eye-catching focal point that adds texture and softness to any aquascape.

Highly favoured by Caridina and Neocaridina shrimp, Chrysanthemum flowers provide a natural foraging surface through biofilm development, keeping shrimp actively grazing throughout the day. With a low tannin release, they are ideal for aquarists looking to add botanicals without heavily darkening the water.

Madison ★★★★★

My shrimp swarm these the moment they hit the water, and the flowers hold their shape for weeks instead of dissolving into mush. Six in a pack was plenty for my 10-gallon.

Julian G. ★★★★★

The water takes on that lovely tea-colored tint within an hour of dropping these in, and the texture of the petals gives my shrimp a completely different surface to pick at compared to their usual leaves. Six in a pack feels like a solid amount for a nano tank, and they hold their shape for weeks be

Aurora ★★★★★

My shrimp absolutely love grazing on these chrysanthemum blooms, and they add a lovely warm tint to the water. Each flower in the six-pack held up well for weeks before breaking down completely.
