Super Hilfreich
Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Baumröhrchen
Wurde direkt von allen Fischen und Garnelen super angenommen
kleiner Tipp:
Holz in Schüssel legen
Heißes Wasser übergießen und eine Stunde einziehen lassen (ab und zu mal umrühren
im Anschluss kurz mit kalten Wasser waschen und ab ins Aqurarium
so treiben die Hölzer nicht auf und hinterlassen keinen Dreck
Super Versteck geworden
So far I have only used the catappa leaves, but these tubes provides a natural hide out for small animals too.
I really like the Indian almond bark tubes. Underwater they roll open and form a small cave for shrimp that you can leave in the tank permanently. My Amanos like to sit underneath. (read more)

Empfehlenswert, vor allem für Garnelen
Die Seemandelbaumröhrchen gefallen mir sehr gut. Sie rollen sich unter Wasser auf und bilden eine kleine Höhle für Garnelen, die man dauerhaft im Becken lassen kann. Meine Amanos sitzen gerne darunter. Das Wasser gefärbt hat die Röhre aber nicht sichtbar. Hier hätte ich mehr erwartet. Aber es sieht trotzdem sehr schön und natürlich aus.
