Every plant offered in this assortment grows well without supplemental CO2 diffusion, the same conditions typical of a shrimp or nano fish aquarium. Each pack scales with tank volume, from a 5-gallon minimum of three plants up to a 10-gallon minimum of five.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-heading=\"Essential Details\"\u003eEssential Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Varies by selection – mosses, or floating and loosely rooted stems, and rhizome plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to Low\/Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCO2:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not Necessary – every species in this assortment is selected to grow well without supplemental CO2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Varies by species – fragmentation for mosses, stem cuttings for guppy grass and similar stem plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTint Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to High – most species in this assortment grow naturally in shaded, tannin-stained streams and tolerate blackwater tint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHabitat Location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Global ecosystems where shrimp can be natural found, not biotope-specific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shrimp aquariums, nano fish aquariums, and low-tech planted aquariums without CO2 injection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse with Caution:\u003c\/strong\u003e May carry beneficial hitchhiking snails, snail eggs, or duckweed.

Shrimp don't tolerate low pH water well, since it reduces their ability to calcify their shells, so many keepers dose added minerals to compensate. The plants in this pack tolerate that mineral content as readily as the tint. Your curated selection may include a plant not yet listed on the website, since new arrivals from the grow-out ponds enter this pack before they're sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plants chosen in this pack are selected for their fine textures, high surface area, and ability to create refuge for baby shrimplets. Dense mosses and fine-stemmed plants like guppy grass grow into a tangle of roots and high surface area that shrimp need for their continual grazing; the biofilm colonizing every stem and leaf is their food source between regular feedings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat same dense growth gives shrimp somewhere to retreat right after molting, when a shrimp's new exoskeleton is still soft, and it is at its most vulnerable to tankmates. Shrimplets rely on the same cover to stay out of sight of adult shrimp and fish until they are large enough to hold their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-heading=\"Beneath the Leaves: The Pack in the Wild\"\u003eBeneath the Leaves: The Pack in the Wild\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNature's tinted ecosystems stretch across most of the world's continents, and the plants that colonize them provide refuge, habitat structure, and nutrient uptake that keep those habitats functioning. Across genera and continents, the plants in this pack contribute those same ecological roles inside the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere a botanical contributes as it breaks down, an aquatic plant is living and contributes as it grows.
