Amazon Jungle Twin Ferns on Log Aquarium Plant

Two small ferns on a shared moulded log, 12cm tall in total. This is one of the smallest pieces in the range and it is scaled deliberately — in a 20 to 40 litre nano or a shrimp tank, a 30cm background plant takes over the whole scape, while this one still leaves swimming room.

In a standard 4-foot tank it will read as a foreground detail rather than a feature. If you want it to be noticed at that scale, use three or four together.

Features

• 12cm — nano and shrimp-tank scale
• Twin ferns on one log — two plants worth of texture from a single base
• Fine fronds — shrimp graze the biofilm that collects on them
• No maintenance — no lighting, CO2, fertiliser or trimming, and herbivorous fish will not eat it
• 140g shipping weight

Care

Rinse under warm running water before it goes in the tank. Every few months, lift it out and swish it in a bucket of old tank water to shift the algae film that settles on any decor — never use soap or detergent.

Worth knowing

Artificial plants do not take up nitrate or oxygenate the water the way live plants do. They are for structure, cover and looks — your filter and water changes still do the work.
