Subwassertang

Portion Size: 6x6cm flat.

Description

Subwassertang, or the freshwater seaweed (Lomariopsis cf. lineata), is an uncommon fern gametophyte that, until a few years ago, was considered to be a liverwort or moss.  

This is a great low-tech plant to keep in any freshwater aquarium due to its low lighting requirements, similar to most mosses. It is a slow-growing plant that is capable of growing in somewhat cold water tanks as well as tropical tanks.  It grows into bushy heaps that are always a favourite hiding place for shrimp and fish fry.

Main Benefits:

• Helps convert toxins in the water and heavy metals into safe organics 
• Promotes oxygen rich water
• Provides hiding places for baby shrimp and fish
• Creates a peaceful grazing environment for shrimp
• Reduces stress for fish and shrimp by providing hiding places and shelter

More Information: 

Subwassertang doesn't like to root to anything besides sponge. We usually let it float through the tank until it finds a resting area. After a couple of weeks, it will begin forming bush like growths. Once these subwassertang bushes start to form, the plant really begins to stand out in an aquarium.
