Nature Boys King Cones

Nature Boys King Cones

Nature Boys King Cones are a natural, nutrient-rich botanical perfect for shrimp tanks, nano aquariums, and blackwater setups. These large cones slowly release tannins and humic acids, helping to create gently softened, slightly acidic water that mimics the natural habitats of many shrimp and small fish. Their antibacterial and antifungal properties make them especially useful for maintaining cleaner, healthier conditions.

As they break down, Nature Boys King Cones encourage the growth of biofilm, providing a constant, natural food source for shrimp, fry, and microfauna. Their textured structure also adds visual interest while offering small hiding spots that help shrimp feel secure.

How to Use:

• Rinse the cones before use.

• Soak briefly in hot water to help them sink faster.

• Add 1 cone per 20–30 litres, adjusting based on the level of tannins you prefer.

• Replace the cones once they become soft and begin to fully break down.
