Une grande Anubias qui peut atteindre pratiquement la trentaine de centimètres, elle en possède autrement toutes les mêmes caractéristiques que les autres membres de sa famille. Ses feuilles particulièrement robustes ne peuvent pas être mangées par les poissons, même par les célèbres poissons rouge pourtant bien voraces.

Anubias congensis or Anubias afzelii is an excellent beginner plant. As with all members of this family, the horizontal rhizome should be exposed and never planted into the substrate layer. Grows best when attached to driftwood. Easy, low maintenance plant. Good for beginners, rarely eaten by fish.

Dwarf Anubias is an excellent foreground plant. As with all members of this family, the horizontal rhizome should be exposed and never planted into the substrate layer. Grows best when attached to driftwood. Easy, low maintenance plant. Good for beginners, rarely eaten by fish.

Bucephalandra 'Wavy Green' is an easy, slow-growing plant that prefers lower light levels. A nice, dense appearance is ensured by the willingness to branch, even without trimming. The green leaves are 2 cm wide and 5 cm long with wavy edges. Tiny white spots will appear on immerse leaves. The creeping stem, rhizome, must not be covered when planting. This will cause the plant to rot and die.

Fast growing stem plant that prefers cooler, mineral-rich water and strong lighting. Will require liquid supplementation for optimal growth. Has been none to react poorly to copper. Be sure to plant the stems a few centimeters apart so that light can reach the bottom leaves.

Elle pousse très rapidement et absorbe de nombreux de nutriments, métaux, nitrates (NO3), phosphates (PO4) qui compétitionnera à la pousse des algues. La Ceratophyllum demersum est vraiment la plante à posséder quand on débute un nouveau bac! C'est aussi un refuge privilégié pour les alevins qui doivent se sauver de la prédation des adultes. Facile et ne nécessitant pas de terreau, elle peut être plantée par tous les aquariophiles débutants même s'ils n'ont pas la main verte. Mais encore une fois, attention à la température trop chaude! Il est à noter que la Ceratophyllum demersum est assez robuste pour supporter l'eau saumâtre.

Very hardy rosette plant that can grow to impressive heights. Is very tolerant of water parameters and lighting conditions. Ideal for the back of the tank. Old or damaged leaves should be removed. Nutrients absorbed through the roots. Does not adapt particularly well to liquid carbon supplements.

Plante délicate aux feuilles finement dentelées. Rarement mangée par les poissons herbivores. Peut tolérer une eau légerement dure et salée. Il faut que 2/3 du bulbe soit visible lorsque planté.

Cryptocoryne parva from Sri Lanka is the smallest of all Cryptocorynes (only 3-6 cm tall and a roset less than 5-8 cm wide). It is one of the few species that does not significantly change its leaf shape and colour depending on cultivation conditions. It needs more light than most other Cryptocorynes because it almost loses its leaf blade under water. So it must never be overshadowed by other plants. Individual plants should be planted a few centimetres apart, and after about six months they will form a cohesive low group of plants. Recommended for foreground planting.

Bel effet décoratif lorsque planté en groupe de 15-20 rameaux de taille échelonnée. Lorsque l'éclairage est suffisant, les rameaux sont plus compacts et poussent moins rapidement en hauteur pour puiser leur lumière.

Prévoir un espace suffisant pour son épanouissement. Un apport en fer est recommandé. Peu perdre ses feuilles lorsque transplanté: couper les feuilles abimées et de nouvelles pousses apparaîtront au centre de la plante.
