Alder Cones in Aquariums

Alder cones are the catkins of black alder trees, resembling tiny pine cones and measuring up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) long. They appear in the fall, are brown in color, and persist on the tree until the following spring. Rich in tannins, alder cones slowly release tannic acid into the aquarium water.

Benefits in Aquariums:

1. Fungal Disease Treatment:

Alder cones are known for their germ-inhibiting properties, making them effective against fungal diseases and infections in aquariums.

2. General Health Promotion:

Shrimp breeders frequently use alder cones for their health-promoting effects, contributing to the well-being of fish and shrimp.

3. Water Parameter Adjustment:

The humic acid in alder cones helps lower the pH value of the water, making it more acidic. This can be useful for aquarists looking to reduce a high pH value, such as from 8 to a lower level.

4. Natural Water Coloring:

The tannins and humic acid released can cause a slight discoloration of the water, which mimics the natural environment of many ornamental fish and invertebrates, providing a more comfortable and natural habitat.

5. Microorganism and Algae Support:

Alder cones provide an ideal breeding ground for microorganisms and algae, which serve as a natural food source for shrimp and other aquarium inhabitants.
