Henry L. ★★★★★

My shrimp went straight for these the first day I dropped a few in, which is exactly what I wanted for a natural food source. The 30 pack gives me plenty to scatter through the leaf litter without feeling skimpy. They sink quickly and don't cloud the water at all.

Sophia ★★★★★

These stems are the perfect size for scattering under the driftwood, and they sink right away without any soaking. My shrimp have been picking at them constantly, and the tank finally looks like a proper blackwater setup.

Benjamin R. ★★★★★

My shrimp tank finally has that natural, forest-floor look I was going for after I scattered a handful of these among the leaf litter. The stems are sturdy and sink right away, so they don’t float around and mess up my aquascape setup.
