Frequently Asked Questions
Do Buddha pods sink immediately?
Not always. They often float for a while at first. Boiling them briefly helps them sink faster.
Do they turn my water brown?
Yes, slightly tinted water due to tannins is normal and healthy. It gives your aquarium a natural blackwater look.
How long will they keep?
Usually for a few months. After that, they slowly decompose and serve as a food source for microorganisms.
