{"product_id":"fritz-nature-box","title":"Fritz Nature Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eFritz Nature Box brings the blackwater look and benefits of a wild stream to your freshwater aquarium. It combines Indian almond (Catappa) leaves, sliced Catappa bark, and Casuarina cones, each releasing tannins and humic substances that tint the water, gently lower pH, and create a soothing, natural habitat. Ideal for betta, shrimp, and soft-water community fish.
