Usage (terrarium)

Arjuna bark is an excellent addition to bioactive and tropical terrariums. Its fibrous structure offers refuge and foraging areas for woodlice, springtails, and other members of the cleanup crew. It helps maintain a stable humidity level in the enclosure, enriches the substrate with organic matter as it decomposes, and adds a natural, tropical aesthetic to the setup.

Usage (aquarium)

Ideal for botanical and blackwater aquariums, Arjuna bark gradually releases tannins and humic acids that replicate the natural conditions of tropical waters. Its moderate tannin release makes it suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists, without the risk of over-tinting the water. It supports the health of shrimp and fish thanks to its natural antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, while providing a biofilm surface appreciated by shrimp and fry.
