ALDER CONES
Alder cones have been used by fish keepers for many years, for fish that prefer a lower pH. I use them in all my shrimp tanks and they can be used for so many fish, including Discus, South American Dwarf Cichlids, Killifish, Bettas, Corydoras, Plecs and many species of Barbs, Tetras and Rasboras.
The cones will naturally lower the pH and release natural organic acids and tannins into the water, some of which have anti-bacterial qualities which help prevent bacterial and fungal infections. For this reason many breeders use the cones when hatching eggs.
I use 1-2 cones per 2 gallons in my shrimp tanks. This amount of cones doesn't tint the water :)
For hatching eggs, in a separate container, use 1 or 2 cones per 500ml.
The cones may float for a day or two but will eventually sink and will last for at least 4-6 weeks before breaking down. At this point they should be replaced.
Alder cones may be used in conjunction with Indian Almond Leaves to give your aquarium an even more natural look.
If the cones are kept dry in a sealed container and out of direct sunlight they can be stored for many many months.50 cones for $5 I can ship also $2.50 in a padded envelope (post office might crush) or Priority flat rate box $5
