Lotus Pods for Aquarium/Terrarium Use
Lotus Pods for Aquarium/Terrarium Use
Couldn't load pickup availability
Lotus pods are carefully gathered by us from the lotus plant and then prepared just for you! These are good not only in aquariums but other settings as well, isopods love them!
These lotus pods are generally large.
In fish and shrimp tanks they provide multiple hiding places for fry and smaller shrimp. They’re also a a great surface for bio-film to grow on that the shrimp eat later on. As the pods break down you’ll notice your shrimp will also eat the pods as a food source.
We personally love to use these in our shrimp tanks to provide some natural cover that also doubles as food!
Pods are generally 2.0 - 3.5 inches in diameter. Since these grow in nature , please expect some variance to the color, size, and shape.
These pods can be extremely hard to sink. You’ll need to follow a few extra steps before they can be added to your aquariums so that they’ll sink.
Boil the pods for at least 40-60 minutes, you’ll then soak them for two days. Other tips include poking the pods with a toothpick or skewer so allow water to go inside the pod. You can squeeze them gently underwater after soaking in order to encourage water-logging.
Good luck and message us with any questions!

There are many online resources and guides available for caring for aquarium plants. Many are free of charge.
However, if you’d like to know how we do it here at Zia Plant, we can definitely let you know if you send us a message with a request.
We provide care instructions, fertilization methods and products, and special handlings tips. Some rare species of plants may require special handling. Aquarium supplants such as root tabs, fertilizers, and aquatic buffers may require special handling.
I ordered botanicals, how do I prepare them for my tank?
Botanical treatment is easy! You can simply bring a pot to a boiling temperature. Then drop the botanicals in for 15-20 minutes, 30 minutes max! You can then remove the botanicals safely or let them cook down in your water. You can then safely add them to your tank.
All of our botanicals are heat-treated before storage to ensure a clean and safe product.
What are your 3D Prints made of?
Great question!
Every 3D print is made from bio-plastic, and is completely safe for all living beings. It is known as PLA. For certain projects, a stronger version of PLA is used, this is called PLA+.
The plastic is non-toxic and child safe.
