Alder Cones for Aquariums

The alder cones were great. They added some tannins and look really good as accent pieces to my decor!

I had never purchased alder cones before but I thought I would give it a shot as I liked what I read about the key features plus the price seemed incredible. I wish there had been a measurement or at least approximate measurement given on the cones. See my attached picture for just how miniscule these cones are. I would call this product a solid middle of the road 3 star if the measurement had been listed. Thank goodness I also bought cholla wood and almond leaves with this purchase. (love both of those btw!)

Alder Cones

just as described arrived quickly

good product

I have used botanicals in the past to add some tannins to my Betta tank. I had never tried alder cones. Im not sure if alder cones work really well in general or if these ones are exceptionally nice but they added SO much color to my tank. I actually over did it at first. After a water change, my tanks are perfect. These cones work exceptionally well and dont require much to add lots of tannins! I will be stocking up on more

Haven't used them yet, but they're a good size

My Panda Shrimp love these!

I received my free sample of small alder cones along with the small casuarina cones sample yesterday. Within 24 hours with one of each cone being in the tank, the water on both tanks is completely 'black' and fully tannin stained. For those that want black water it is completely essential for these cones if you don't want Indian almond leaves in the tank, which are larger and break down faster.

I added just three of these to my 10 gallon small community tank. The tannins they released were amazing and my corys and shrimp are doing better than ever! I would recommend both these and some Indian almond leaves for your tank for sure!

Every order I receive so far have met my expectations! Never a casualty!

Alright, so I'm no expert here. I've only kept aquariums for about 4 years now. I've bought Almond leaves from a few places, all with about the same results. Toss 2 or 3 leaves into your 20 gallon and you're good! Mostly clear water with a bit of tinge.
Well not with these! You throw 1 leaf Into your 20, go to bed, wake up and BOOM, you're convinced your kids poured cola into your tank. Like can't see anything even with the light.
These things are L O A D E D with tannins
All my wet pets are fine, but I'm about to rip out all 2 feet of my hair here.

If I ever need botanical again, I'm coming here. Shipping took like 2 weeks, but what's the rush, they're already dead! Was worried at first, but reached out and Amanda gave a quick and reassuring response

10/10

Fantastic!

These are perfect for shrimp and other aquarium fish that benefit from tannins

Awesome!!!

I really like these adorable cones. I like a natural looking aquarium.

Alder Cones

As expected, well packaged, did not create debris

I like the look they give my tanks, so little. They also seem to interest my little Ram Cichlid as he is always pecking away at one. I've heard that they are beneficial to your tanks because they release tannins which can lower the pH in my tanks, so that is why I purchased them. They may have tinted my water a tad bit, but I'm not sure because I also have a big wood piece in my tank. I don't mind a slightly tinted tank (as long as my parameters are correct) because it looks more natural to me. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

They look great, tank inhabitants loves them. Will buy more!

I recieved 11 alder cones and i had put 2 in my 10 gallon tank, and by night time the tank water was already slightly brown! Definitely will either get these or giant alder cones next time!

Great shape and size. Received 2 extra cones in the bag. Can’t complain about that at all. And as always great customer service !

My Amano shrimp love grazing on these little cones.

Alder Cones

The cones look cool and add some nice tannins to the water. Shrimp went to investigate as soon as they sunk(under 1hr).

My cherry shrimp really seem to enjoy these & they look great in the tank! After I put them (& the other items I got from Flip Aquatics) I finally started seeing berried females 😍🦐

My order of 20 Cherry Shrimp and Mystery Snails arrived alive and well. The shrimp are gorgeous and very big. I am always happy buying from Flip Aquatics. Great and professional service.

Alder cones canes quick and were great quality. Will reorder again.

Alder cones came fast and are great quality. Will reorder again.

My shrimp love the cone and leaves. A plus was the speedy delivery. Thank you will order again

Loved this product, good size for my nano tank. Fast shipping, reasonable pricing!

Ordered two 10 packs of Alder Cones. They came promptly and were as expected. Added 10 to my planted 20 gallon Betta/Rasbora tank and within a day the water was nice and dark. I will be purchasing from Flip Aquatics again any time I need Cones or IAL.
