Zoo Med Betta Mopani Wood

Overview
Zoo Med’s Betta Mopani Wood is a natural aquarium décor designed specifically to enrich Betta habitats. By releasing natural tannins into the water, this wood creates a “dark water” effect that mimics a Betta’s wild environment. This not only enhances the aesthetic of the tank but also supports Betta health by lowering pH and encouraging natural behaviors such as bubble nesting. The added shelter provides enrichment and helps reduce stress for your fish.

Key Features

• Natural Habitat Simulation – Produces a dark water effect with tannins, just like a Betta’s wild home.

• Stress Reduction – Provides shelter and cover to make Bettas feel secure.
