Chop's Aquatics – Acorn Caps | 30 Count | Kentucky Sourced

Naturally dried acorn caps hand-collected right here in Kentucky — a unique and versatile botanical for shrimp keepers, betta enthusiasts, and blackwater aquarium builds.

Locally Sourced & Sustainably Collected

These acorn caps are hand-collected from the forests and woodlands of Brodhead, Kentucky — no pesticides, no commercial processing, no middlemen. They're naturally dried and carefully sorted before packaging. Buying local means a smaller carbon footprint and a product with a known origin, something you just can't guarantee with mass-imported botanicals.

Benefits:

Rich in tannins and humic acids that naturally condition water, lowering pH and hardness to mimic natural biotope environments
Antibacterial and antifungal properties that support shrimp and fish health
Encourages biofilm growth — an ideal supplemental food source for shrimp, especially shrimplets
Their small, cup-shaped form makes great natural decor and grazing surfaces that shrimp love to pick at

How to Use:

Rinse and add directly to your tank — caps will settle quickly and begin releasing tannins gradually. For a more controlled dose, steep in hot water first to make a tannin tea before adding to your tank. Leave them in until they break down naturally; shrimp will graze on them throughout.
