Hemlock Cones

   10 pack of Eastern Hemlock cones.

These small conifer are a great addition to a bioactive terrarium for isopods. The cones feature many hiding places for mancae and springtails while the entire cone serves as a great microflora breeding ground. They also look great in trying to recreate the forest floor inside!
  These Hemlock cones also make a great additive for a natural scaped fish or shrimp aquarium. In the wild shrimp and other bottom grazing creatures use these cones as a food source, often munching algae or biofilm off of them. Shrimp will also use these cones as a safe house when they are small, as will fish fry. 
  By using a few of these Hemlock cones in your aquarium, you will also release beneficial tannins and humins. These can turn your water a yellowish or brown color known as "black water" in the aquaria community. By using these cones to enrich your water, you can provide antimicrobial and antifungal properties.
