Review: Perfect for Discus Care - Fluval Peat Granules have been a game-changer for my discus tank! These granules have gradually lowered my pH to the perfect level, creating an ideal environment for my discus. I love that the change was slow and steady, preventing any shock to my fish. In addition to stabilising pH, the granules also release beneficial tannins into the water. These tannins have not only enhanced the natural look of the tank but also seem to have boosted my discus’s immune system. Since using this product, my discus have been more active, vibrant, and appear to be thriving. If you’re looking for a natural, effective way to improve water parameters and support your discus’s health, I highly recommend Global Peat Granules. It’s a must-have for any serious discus keeper! Review: Life saver - Brilliant stuff lowered my Ph from 9 to low 7s high 6s in the matter of a week, perfect for my apistograma pair, 190 tank ## Features - Controls, manipulates and satisfies the breeding requirements of tropical fish - Usage: This filter media is suitable for freshwater. Ideal for use with most canister filters; for best results, replace every 4 weeks - Water Softening: Peat Granules are recommended for fish that prefer soft, acidic water (i.e. desertcartian cichlids, discus, angelfish). They soften aquarium water naturally and help achieve pH levels that are needed for breeding certain tropical species ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00025642Q | | Best Sellers Rank | 33,322 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 381 in Aquarium Water Treatments | | Brand Name | Fluval | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,224) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00015561114653 | | Item Form | Granules | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Fluval | | Manufacturer Part Number | A1465 | | Model Number | A1465 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Target Species | Amazon Cichlid | | UPC | 015561114653 | | Unit Count | 500.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Fluval - **Item form:** Granules - **Item weight:** 1 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** Fluval - **Unit count:** 500.0 gram ## Images ![Peat Granules, Filter Insert for Strong Growth of Aquatic Plants in Freshwater Aquariums, 500 g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91agI4e6BtL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: A similar product by eheim advises - do not use together with active carbon, is there any truth in this with the fluval product ? what advice ?** A: I use it together with active carbon. Whilst in my experience it will still soften the water/reduce pH, I think the active carbon does counteract the browning/yellowing of the water to some degree **Q: Can this be used to hatch killifish eggs?** A: Sorry don't have a clue! **Q: Does this work with U2 type one?** A: There are videos on YouTube so you can see how this filter works. **Q: Does this reduce ph and kh simultaneously? If so, does anyone know how much i would need for 600l tropical?** A: No it won’t affect KH, and peat will have less affect at higher KH. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Discus Care *by X***X on 22 November 2024* Fluval Peat Granules have been a game-changer for my discus tank!

Using this product does add a little discolouration to the water but then most tanks are so bright the fish might actually be happier with it being a little darker. I use a small amount of this in my external filter and change it every 3 months (every 2 filter cleaning cycles). I think I'm right in believing this doesn't go well with active carbon. I personally use ceramic blocks, various sponges, (both for good bacteria and for removing larger debris) and ammonia remover media. My fish is a more obscure type of community aquarium and the fish seem to be happy with this setup. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fluval Aquatic Peat Granules, Chemical Filter Media for Freshwater Aquariums, Water Softener, 17.6 oz., A1465 - DEPEPE 10pcs Aquarium Filter Media Bags with Zipper for Activated Carbon, Biospheres, Ceramic Rings - Fluval BioMax Biological Material Remover, 500 g - Biological Filter Media for Aquariums --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/48572959-peat-granules-filter-insert-for-strong-growth-of-aquatic-plants](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/48572959-peat-granules-filter-insert-for-strong-growth-of-aquatic-plants) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
