The Sapucainha pod is full of good tannins, trace elements and natural vitamins.

The tannins of the pods are slowly released into the water. These tannins have many different benefits:

• Slightly increases the acidity of the water
• Inhibitory effect on bacteria and diseases
• Color the water slightly brown
• Support the imitation of the natural habitat

The woody, rough structure makes this pod very suitable for tying up moss and aquarium plants.
