  • Stimulates growth in root-feeding plants 
  • Full of essential plant nutrients and minerals
  • Safe for shrimp, snail, and fish

If you have rooted plants in your aquarium, Easy Root Tabs are a great option to give your plants even more nutrients than substrate and fish waste alone. They're packed with mineralized top soil containing red clay and many other essential minerals plants need to thrive. Unlike many other aquarium root tabs out there, Easy Root Tabs do not contain ammonia-based ingredients and will not cause harmful effects if the contents of the capsule are released into the water column.

Monthly Plant Supplement

Our Easy Root Tabs make it easier to deliver fertilizer right to the roots of your plants. Our blend of mineralized top soil and nutrients provides all the essential building blocks that plants need to grow and thrive. Replenish monthly or as needed to keep your plants looking their best.

Hungry Root Feeders

Many plants like Cryptocoryne and sword plants prefer feeding from their roots and need nutrient-rich substrate. If these plants start yellowing and melting back, feed them lots of root tabs to ensure they grow big and healthy leaves.

Stronger Roots

When you use root tabs, this encourages the plant to grow stronger and more plentiful root structures. This helps prevent the plant from getting accidentally uprooted by Corydoras and other fish that dig for food.

Root Tab Placement

When first planting, place root tabs directly under the plant. Each month you can expand outwards with the root tabs as the roots will continue to stretch out through the substrate. Large plants often need several root tabs — 1 in the center and a few in a circle around the plant.

Usable in all Substrates

All substrates can use root tabs. The goal is to have a rich-nutrient substrate that consists of a mix of fish poo and nutrients. Root tabs bring the essential nutrients that can be missing from your fish food. Enriched aqua soils start out as a rich nutrient substrate, but over time the nutrients are consumed and need to be replaced or re-mineralized with root tabs.

Fish, Shrimp, and Snail Safe

Easy Root Tabs are safe for fish, shrimp, and snails. They are best planted at least an inch below the surface of the substrate.

Easy Root Tabs are indeed easy to use.

I came back to the hobby about 6 months ago. Easy Root Tabs have made fertilizing easy. My plants seem to love them. I have been amazed by the growth rate of some plants. I have had plants grow several inches in less than a week!

Will float

I had purchased these pills before but stopped buying them after my first experience. However, I couldn't remember the exact reason why I stopped. After more than two years, I decided to buy them again and was quickly reminded of the issue. The pills tend to float out of the sand, and the fish will actually eat them. I have multiple tanks, and no matter how deep I bury the pills, they always float back to the surface within a few hours.

I like that theyre easy to place in the substrate, but they leave behind their outer capsule. Cant tell if they help the plants.

I have been using the root tabs for quite some time. It takes a couple of months before i started to notice the effects but my amazon sword (also from Aquarium Co-Op) has really taken off.

Works great!

My Amazon swords haven't done better since I added these easy root tabs into my tank. They are taller and wider and much more healthy because of it.
