Introducing the Cariniana Pod: A Natural Shelter for Aquatic Environments
Discover the exquisite Cariniana Pod, a true "gift from the jungle," sourced from the magnificent Cariniana legalis trees of South America. These extraordinary pods, reminiscent of their submerged counterparts in the Amazonian waters, bring a touch of nature's splendor to your aquascaping endeavors.
Originating from some of Brazil's oldest trees, with a history spanning over 3,000 years, the Cariniana Pod is a testament to longevity and resilience. Crafted by nature, these pods gracefully fall from the trees, revealing a world of possibilities for your aquatic habitat.
Measuring approximately 2 to 3 inches (5.08-7.62cm) in length and 1 to 1.5 inches (2.54-3.81cm) in width, these hides, also known as jeauitiba or savu pods, offer a perfect tunnel-like structure that provides natural shelter for a variety of aquatic creatures. Whether it's Apistos, shrimp, or even vivarium-dwelling frogs, the Cariniana Pod offers an ideal refuge for smaller fish and critters, replicating their natural habitat with precision.
The hard surface of these pods boasts durability and longevity, making them ideal for underwater environments. Over time, they may develop a beneficial "biofilm" that serves as a supplemental food source for many small fish and shrimp, fostering a healthy and vibrant ecosystem within your aquarium.
Derived from the colossal Cariniana legalis trees, renowned as one of the largest and oldest species in the Atlantic Forest, these trumpet-shaped pods add a touch of grandeur and authenticity to your aquatic setup. Whether submerged in water or exposed to extreme moisture, the Cariniana Pod endures with unwavering strength, providing a reliable and captivating hideaway for your aquatic companions.
Embrace the wonders of nature and enhance your aquascaping adventures with the Cariniana Pod. Transform your aquarium into a captivating underwater haven, where the beauty of the South American jungle thrives and your aquatic inhabitants find solace and shelter.
Shrimp luv to hide in the Cariniana pods. Great quality arrived quickly and packed perfectly. Flip Aquatics has so much to offer and are always wonderful quality.
Currently I have one floating in each of my tanks until they sink. The cherry shrimp love catching a ride around the tank on the pod. I accidentally knocked one during feeding time, and to my surprise 3 ghost shrimp fled from the pod. Shocked they all fit. Great hiding space for them.
