Easy aquarium plants for every tank
All our plants were chosen for their hardiness: low to medium light is enough, they need no CO2 injection and grow slowly, without frequent trimming. They suit a community aquarium as well as a nano tank or a shrimp tank.
- Anubias — thick, dark green leaves, almost indestructible. They are attached to a root or a stone. Available varieties: Anubias nana, Anubias nana Gold, Coin Leaf, Congensis and Hastifolia.
- Java fern (Microsorum pteropus) — light foliage that quickly forms a bush, in the classic version or Minor, more compact for small tanks.
- Mosses — a green carpet for the aquascape and a perfect refuge for shrimp and fry: ready-to-place moss on bark, Erect Moss in vitro, Taiwan moss and Christmas moss.
- [Marimo balls](/products/cladophora-ball-aegagropila-linnaei) (Aegagropila linnaei) — ball-shaped green algae, very easy and decorative.
How to plant Anubias and Java fern
These plants grow on a rhizome that must not be buried: under the sand it rots. Instead, attach them to a root, a stone or a decoration with fishing line or an aquarium-safe gel glue; their roots will grip on their own within a few weeks. This way they grow on any substrate, even in a tank without nutrient soil.
Plants and shrimp: the perfect pair
Plants give shrimp shelter and food: biofilm and micro-organisms develop on leaves and mosses. In vitro plants are grown in a lab in a sterile medium: they arrive without snails or unwanted algae. Simply rinse other plants before putting them in the aquarium. Discover our aquarium shrimp too.
