Cinnamon Stick Whirl - Hiding place for crayfish and shrimp - 10 cm

"Cinnamon sticks are a relatively new tip against bacterial infections and fungi. They contain valuable tannins, humic substances and essential oils, which can positively influence the vitality of the animals and their health, care for the mucous membranes and make the water suitable for fish or shrimp. With its beautiful reddish-brown color, the cinnamon stick forms a very pretty natural cave for small and larger shrimps and small dwarf crayfish. Cinnamon bark is also very valuable as a source of dietary fiber. " - Garnelio

Cinnamon bark contains astringent (astringent) tannins, essential oils and humic substances that make the water suitable for fish and effectiveagainst bacteria and fungi . Furthermore, mucous membranes are protected and maintained, cinnamon bark can also prevent diseases .
This cinnamon stick is 100% natural and absolutely free of artificial additives.

This 10 cm long cinnamon stick is made of Ceylon cinnamon and thus contains only very little harmful coumarin, unlike the sticks often available in craft stores made of Cassia cinnamon.

In the water, the cinnamon bark swells slightly and rolls up a bit, so that shrimp and small to larger crayfish find a great hiding place here. The bark is very readily rasped off and, in addition to the valuable components listed above, also provides minerals and important fiber. As long as the active ingredients of the cinnamon stick are released, it has a reddish color. This fades after a few weeks.  Then you should add a new cinnamon stick. The "sucked out" stick can remain in the aquarium as a cave or be removed.

The cinnamon stick is sufficient for 100 l aquarium water. For a smaller aquarium, shorten it accordingly with loppers or a sharp knife. Just put the cinnamon stick into the aquarium, it will sink after a short time.
