Live Plants

The somewhat “thorny' appearance of the submersed form makes it very distinct and easily recognizable.

It is an easy plant, tolerant of very different conditions in an aquarium. Appearance of the plant will partially depend on these conditions.

Stems become 10-30 cm long and 3-4 cm wide. Apart from relatively good light it makes few demands.

As a traditional floating plant it offers good protection for young fish. 

Ranunculus inundatus is characterised by its compact form and distinguished, deeply cut umbrellas.

It has compact, tight-sitting leaves and grows branches easily. Pinching of the stems maintains a bushy look.

The creeping growth of this stem-plant makes it highly attractive for creating carpets in the aquarium.

Growth of Mini Taiwan moss is horizontal and overhanging, like a mini version of 'Weeping moss'.

Glossostigma elatinoides from New Zealand is much in demand in Japanese-inspired aquariums.
