Create a stunning, natural underwater lawn with the Micro Sword (Lilaeopsis brasiliensis). This highly popular, grass-like plant features short, vibrant green blades that resemble a lush backyard turf. Growing via a creeping rhizome system, it sends out continuous runners to tightly blanket your substrate over time. It is an exceptional foreground carpet selection that gives aquariums a clean, scaled look, providing a perfect grazing pasture for freshwater shrimp, fry, and bottom-dwelling fish. Please note: Product images are AI-generated and will vary from the actual plant received.
Key benefits:
Lush Turf Carpet: Spreads steadily across the bottom of your tank to form a dense, vibrant green, grass-like lawn.
Excellent Shrimp Pasture: The fine, blade-like leaves catch organic particles and provide a perfect, safe foraging ground for dwarf shrimp and baby fish.
Adds Depth and Scale: Its low profile makes your aquarium look larger and more expansive, adding a professional aquascaper's touch.
Specifications:
Form: Clump
Growth Rate: Slow to Moderate
Placement: Foreground (Carpeting)
Light Requirement: Medium to High
Co2 Requirement: Medium (Highly recommended to achieve a thick, rapid carpet)
Water type: Freshwater
Suggested use: Remove the plant clump from its packaging. For the fastest carpeting results, pull the clump apart into several smaller sections or plugs. Plant these individual plugs into a nutrient-rich substrate, spacing them about an inch apart in a grid pattern. Ensure the roots are buried securely while keeping the base of the green blades exposed. Supplementing with liquid fertilizers and iron-rich root tabs will help it fill in quickly.
What’s included: 1 x Clump portion of Micro Sword
