    Java moss is one of the easiest to grow, and hardy, aquarium plants around. It belongs to the Hypnaceae family and is native to Southeast Asia.

  • Java Fern Bunch Small on pots - Nano Tanks Australia Aquarium Shop

    [ARRIVED 5-NOV-2025] Java Fern Bunch Small

    18 in stock

    JAVA FERN: THE BEST PLANT FOR YOUR PLANTED AQUARIUM Java ferns (microsorum pteropus) are perfect for aquariums. They're small, easy to grow, and don't need a lot of light to survive. Ask us for varieties we have available. For example, there are needle leaf varieties that require bright lights, as well as more traditional 'jungle' leaves such as the Narrow Leaf, Lance Leaf, and Windelov – their many varieties to suit your needs inside your aquarium. Your fish will appreciate the natural hiding spots provided by Java Fern so they can get away from time to time and feel safe and secure when they want it. Identification If you want a true aquatic plant that can grow when submerged in water or even partially out, then the Java fern is perfect for your tank. Our diverse line of beautiful and delicate-looking Java plants are perfect for people who prefer an aesthetic look inside their home aqua garden without crazy maintenance requirements. When you require a go-to plant that looks great in almost any aquascapes, go with Java Ferns (from Nano Tanks Australia with our aquascaping expertise, of course!). The narrow-leaf Java fern generally boasts long, skinny leaves, with the plant growing to a height of 10-12 inches (25-30 cm). Java Fern is perfect for those who have limited space or are trying to create an artificial jungle feel in their aquarium. The plants need bright light, but indirect (not right under the light), so they can grow properly. Keep in mind the sun has a much more potent energy than your tiny aquarium lights, so aquarium keepers can tend to underestimate the wattage and spectrum required. Saying that, in nature Aquatic Java Fern tends to never receive direct light in the jungle river. So although the Java Fern will be fine with low light in the tank, its growth rate will not impress you. What You Should Know about Java Fern It's probably better than any other plant that would grow inside an aquatic environment for this reason - its fronds are big enough for fish to swim through them without getting stuck between leaves. A striking addition to any freshwater planted aquarium, perfect if you have cichlids or South American fish. Fortunately, it's also relatively easy for plant-eating goldfish and other tank mates to leave it alone because of its tough rhizomes! Java Fern does well in water with pH levels between 6-7.5, as long as the alkalinity stays below eight dKH (aka carbonate hardness). If you see black spots (or brown spots) in your plant's leaves, don't worry - they do that. Java ferns have veins running through them, and sometimes new bumps will pop up on the leaf from which a new shoot emerges. Planting and Replanting Java Fern in the Aquarium Java ferns grow beautifully with other live plants since they are so robust, but they also make a great centrepiece for the aquarium when planted alone. Alternatively, you can attach java fern to aquarium decorations (like rock or driftwood) to create an elegant look that will not overwhelm your fish tank with too much greenery! Java Fern is a hardy plant that can live in any tank size, making it perfect for apartment dwellers who don't have room for large aquariums! If the water stays clean (and you're not adding liquid fertiliser), this resilient Fern's growth will remain consistent without any problems. The Fern prefers water with soft-to-moderate temperatures of 22 degrees Celsius. Data at a glance for Java Fern Family: Polypodiaceae Care Level: Easy Growth Rate: Low to Moderate Maximum Size: 30cm Minimum Tank Size: 20 Litres (tall tank) Water Conditions: 20-28°C pH 6.0-7.5 KH 3-8 Lighting: Low to Moderate (Depending on the desired rate of growth) Propagation: Adventitious Plantlet/Rhizome Division Placement: Mid to Background

    Duckweed (Lemna disperma) Starter Pack

    What is Duckweed (Lemna disperma)? Overview Duckweed Lemna disperma is an oval or sometimes round herb that is endemic to Austalia. It has an average size of 1-4 mm long with red and green body coloration that grows 3 to 5 veins. It is known to be one of Earth's most miniature flowering plants. Lemna diaspora tends to form a thick green mat that slowly drifts on the water surface. The plants primarily reproduce vegetatively, with two daughter plants budging off from the adult plant. This type of growth allows new water to be colonized very quickly. Duckweeds sexually multiply themselves by flowering and producing seeds under appropriate water conditions. Duckweeds spread quickly and produce a lot of new offshoots. Therefore, dense populations are beneficial to aquatic species. Herbivore fishes would benefit the most Scientists have recently recognized duckweeds' rapid growth rate, and the plants are now used for bioremediation of waterways with high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus that come from agricultural runoff.

    12 in stock

    Banana Lily Nymphoides Aquatica – An Atypical Aquarium Plant for Beginners Nymphoides Aquatica is a lovely aquatic plant that can be used in any pond or planted aquarium. It natively grows along the southeastern United States from Texas to Maryland and has been known various names such as Banana Lily due to its banana-shaped roots. Banana Lily Factsheet Scientific Name: Nymphoides Aquatica Native To South/Southeastern United States Skill Level: Easy Placement: Foreground - Midground CO2 Requirements: none Warning: Banana plants do best if rested on top of the substrate or buried to about 1/4 inch so the plant can send roots down into the substrate. If buried too deeply, the plant may rot and eventually die.  Also Snails and plecos are known to eat banana plants! How To Plant Your Banana Plant Introducing a new banana lily to your aquarium is very easy. First, make sure that you have at least two inches of substrate in the tank, such as gravel or sand, and select an area with good lighting conditions and gentle water flow. To keep your plant in place, make sure to rest the plant's tubers on top of the substrate gently. You can also bury them a quarter-inch into the ground if you want it firmly rooted there immediately. Don't worry if none of these methods work for whatever reason, and they still refuse to stay put! They will eventually send down long roots that attach themselves with help from gravity, so this is just something temporary until then - patience is critical when dealing with these plants! At up to 15cm tall, this species can be used for foreground plants, midground planting, or even as background plants for small tanks like 20 litre nano tanks. How To Care For a Banana Lily Banana lilies have a moderate growth rate, and they won't get out of control, making them perfect for beginners and those with limited space. They prefer temperatures between 20 to 28°C and can survive in low-light conditions. (The more light you give it, the faster it'll grow.) These easygoing fellows don't even require CO2. They are hardy little plants! If you want your banana lily to thrive over time, though, be sure to provide an all-in-one liquid fertiliser every three or four months. Not only will this keep their roots healthy but also stimulate cell division within shorter periods so new leaves form much quicker too. At first, the long shoots will grow toward the surface of your tank and start shooting up heart-shaped leaves, which look like lily pads in some cases with small white five petalled flowers. These plants are great for helping filter out excess nutrients from your water while adding an aesthetic beauty that most other aquatic plants can't offer. Just be careful not to let these floating leaves block all of the light from reaching other plants as well - make sure you prune them if needed. There are many ways that the banana lily may perish after planting. One of these possibilities is if its tubers melt away and disappear. There have been a few theories as to why this happens, but no solid explanation. Perhaps the plant doesn't need the lily anymore because it's getting enough nutrients from the roots. Even when plants start looking unhealthy, they can still grow strong with time. How To Grow More Banana Plants Have you ever wondered how to grow banana plants? It's easy! Cut off one of the leaves and let it float around in your tank. Eventually, new roots will appear with some small leaves, which can then be planted back into the substrate. Since banana is in the name, is the Banana Lily at all edible? Banana lily has no known direct food value to wildlife. However, even though it can't be consumed by animals directly, submerged portions of all aquatic plants provide habitats for many micro and macro invertebrates, which are used as food for the animal world. Inevitably when these plants die, their decomposition provides much-needed sustenance that feeds a variety of other underwater denizens. In the home aquarium, the Banana Lily is purely for aesthetics, water quality, and somewhere for smaller fish and shrimp to hide. Variations of Delivery Usually what you get on this picture is what you will receive. Sometimes however you will be getting a leaf. If you do the banana lily will sprout at the base of the leaf

They're different from some other plants, like Water Sprite or Anacharis that may be more typical in an aquarium setting but are still worth keeping if you want something with interesting variety! Brazilian pennywort (Hydrocallis tr subcontracta) is quite unusual among plant life for exactly this reason: its leaf shape sets it apart visually as well as anatomically--you can tell right away just by looking at them whether they come from Brazilians or not; there's nothing else remotely similar out there anywhere nearby either inside our own country borders Aquarium pH: 6.0 – 7.8 Water Temperature: 22 – 30°C Tank Size: Any, but the plant can grow fast and take over quickly Lighting: Wide range, community tank lighting should work fine

    Riccia fluitans, whose common name is floating crystalwort, is an aquatic floating plant of the liverwort genus Riccia which is popular among aquarists as a retreat for young fry and is used in live-bearing tanks. It can be found floating in ponds, and often forms thick mats on and under the water surface. It normally grows quickly at the surface. When kept about two to three inches below an ordinary fluorescent bulb or in a pond exposed to full sunlight, it will form dense, bright green mats. Any single branch or antler bud can reproduce into a large colony if the plant is kept in proper conditions. It normally floats, but can also be attached to underwater objects such as logs and rocks. It can be attached with plastic mesh. Floating crystalwort is generally not compatible with duckweeds, as they cover the surface of the water quite rapidly, crowding the Riccia out. It is also easily overtaken by hair algae. Source: Wikipedia contributors. (2019, June 5). Riccia fluitans. In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.

    Ceratopteris thalictroides Fine leaf Indian fern 2 plantlets at least 5cm tall

    15 in stock

    Also known as Ceratopteris thalictroides "Fein" Fine-leaved Fast growing Not demanding Also suitable as floating plant Ceratopteris thalictroides is an amphibic fern found in many tropical regions of the world in shallow waters and on muddy ground, amongst others in rice paddies. In some tropical regions of Asia the emersed leaves of this species are used as vegetable. In nature, this plant is said to be an annual plant, however, it can be cultivated over several years without problems. The species contains many local forms, and in aquaristics, varietys with more coarsely or finely pinnate submersed leaves are common (photos 1 to 3 show an especially delicate form of C. thalictroides). The species has been known in the hobby for many years, also under the synonym of Ceratopteris siliquosa as well as under the vernacular names of water sprite, Indian fern, Oriental waterfern and water hornfern.Botanists disagree whether Ceratopteris cornuta, originating from Africa, is to be considered a species of its own or a synonym of C. thalictroides. In aquaristics, those plants with coarser lobes/leaflets are generally called C. cornuta, and those with finer leaflets are known as C. thalictroides. It is not clear, however, if those coarser-looking plants are truly C. cornuta or simply a variety of C. thalictroides (in the narrower sense). A third species, Ceratopteris richardii, can only be discerned from C. thalictroides and C. cornuta by the number of spores per sporangium. Moreover, Ceratopteris species are known to hybridise.C. thalictroides is a very fast growing fern and is usually cultivated free-floating on the water surface, like all other Ceratopteris species. Labyrinth fish gladly accept it for building their bubble nests, and it provides fish fry with great places to hide. However, when planted into the ground it grows even better as a submersed plant. C. thalictroides forms large, fine-leaved, light green bushes within a short time, and as it requires a lot of space it is best cultivated in large tanks as solitary plant. Its requirements are not difficult to meet; medium light intensities and CO2 concentrations of under 20 mg/l are sufficient, however, the fern will grow better under intensive light, with additional CO2 and nutrient-rich water.It forms plantlets in the grooves between the lobes of older leaves, like other Ceratopteris species, however, in lower numbers. In order to further the development of these plantlets it is recommended to sever the older leaves from the plant and let them float on the surface.In shallow water and on wet substrates rich in nutrients, C. thalictroides forms emersed leaves, which are finely pinnate, too. Spore-carrying fronds have very narrow leaf tips. Their margins are rolled in towards the underside and thus cover the sporangia (spore capsules).     Synonyms Acrostichum thalictroides L., Ceratopteris froesii Brade, Ceratopteris gaudichaudii Brongn., Ceratopteris siliquosa (L.)

    14 in stock

    Dwarf Baby Tears (Hemianthus callitrichoides) is a semi-aquatic plant in the Linderniaceae family. It is also known as Water Starwort, and it can be found in the West Indies, including Cuba, Puerto Rico, and The Bahamas. This plant was first collected by Holger Windeløv and Eusebio Canicio Delgado Pérez in 2003 in Las Pozas, Cuba. With its lush green cluster of leaves; sometimes they are mistaken for Monte Carlo when looking at pictures alone. Dwarf Baby Tears Care Dwarf baby tears must be pruned regularly. This is helpful when living in an aquarium with other fish, as dwarf baby tears are typically able to recover from being nipped at. It's best to avoid goldfish, cichlids, or really any larger fish, to help keep a calming environment for your dwarf baby tears. The carpet of green made by the DWARF BABY TEARS cluster leaves provides a great place for aquatic life to leave eggs and start breeding other aquatic life. Dwarf Baby Tears Lighting Aquarium lighting is very important when you consider preparing for dwarf baby tears. You want to make sure not to go above 25° C as higher temperatures have been reported to kill the plants by “melting” or turning the leaves brown. The optimal pH level is anywhere between 6.0-7.5.5. Dwarf baby tears really won’t thrive without light, and lots of it, and a good rule of thumb would be to get yourself a digital thermometer and regularly check the temperature Dwarf Baby Tears CO2 The dwarf baby tears growth process can typically be slow, however, once the bright green leaves blossom they will spread horizontally along the base of your tank, as well as vertically. If you choose to go the CO2 route, which I recommend you do, you may also choose to use an injection of CO2 10-30 mg/l. A nano tank is really the best option, provided that you are able to keep it well-lit and temperature regulated. To have the best success rate, a high-tech tank is the best way to go. Dwarf Baby Tears Carpet Dwarf baby tears will grow throughout your aquarium tank, allowing for other fish to graze and hide their eggs. The importance of high light content and CO2 requirements allows for each portion of the plant to populate and produce stems that can then branch off and begin to grow alongside the aquarium. Is it possible to successfully grow dwarf baby tears on any surface, such as rocks, driftwood, and gravel, but which is the best route to take? It seems to be a matter of preference for most people as any of these will wield the results of carpeting. Growing Dwarf Baby Tears on Driftwood and Rock Driftwood is commonly used with dwarf baby tears, as it can be fairly easy to grow around. Having cracks in the driftwood is also beneficial as it gives the clusters more room to grow and immerse itself within the wood. Some people also chose to use sand as opposed to rocks or gravel, as this is believed to help the roots grow easier and faster. If you start to notice a brown coloring to your green clusters, this is a sign that the leaves are starting to die off. Pruning Dwarf Baby Tears Dwarf baby tears tend to be iron deficient, so they would best thrive off a nutrient rich substrate. Aqua Soil Powder is a great option to use as it is rich in nutrients and minerals that promote healthy growth, while also appearing in a natural earth coloring that looks visually stunning in any aquascape. Dwarf Baby Tears tend to grow into a large carpet at the bottom of your tank. If you start to notice yellowing on your leaves, this is a sign of an iron deficiency and it’s best to act fast and dose it with iron supplements.

    ALTERNANTHERA BETTZICKIANA EMERSED (YELLOW ALTERNATIVE) 5 stems around 10cm long

    Alternanthera Bettzickiana is a popular choice for beginners due to the fact that it's pretty easy to grow. Most red stem plants can prove difficult to get that vibrant red color without providing high CO2 and micronutrients. This plant will keep its vibrant red and pink hues with relative ease, but if nutrients and lighting are severely lacking, the leaves can dull out to an orange hue.   It prefers high nitrates and high phosphates so dosing fertilizers such as UNS Plant Food will help speed up growth and keep coloration at its best. A nutrient-rich substrate is necessary when growing this plant. Notes: Alternanthera provides great coverage for sensitive species and are relatively easier choices for beginners who are looking for colored aquarium plants. Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant. Please be sure to remove this plant from its pot. Remove the cotton surrounding the roots and plant into a quality substrate. For instructions on how to properly prep "potted" aquarium plants, click here. CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth. Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.

    Syngonium is a genus of tropical and subtropical plants that are popular in the aquarium hobby. The most commonly used species in aquariums is Syngonium podophyllum, which is also known as the Arrowhead plant. In an aquarium, Syngonium plants are typically used for their aesthetic appeal and their ability to absorb excess nutrients from the water, which can help to improve water quality. Syngonium plants are a type of epiphytic plant, which means that they can grow without being rooted in soil. Instead, they can attach themselves to rocks, driftwood, or other decorations in the aquarium. Syngonium plants have heart-shaped leaves that can vary in color, from green to variegated shades of green and white. One of the benefits of using Syngonium plants in an aquarium is their ability to absorb excess nutrients from the water. This can help to reduce the levels of nitrates and phosphates, which can be harmful to fish and other aquatic inhabitants if they are present in high levels. Additionally, Syngonium plants can help to improve water clarity by absorbing particulate matter from the water. Syngonium plants are also popular in aquascaping because of their aesthetic appeal. They can be used to create a natural-looking environment in the aquarium and can add a pop of color to an otherwise dull aquascape. Syngonium plants can be used as a foreground or midground plant, and can be grown both emersed (with their leaves above the water) and submersed (with their leaves below the water). In terms of care, Syngonium plants are relatively easy to grow and require moderate lighting and regular fertilization. They can be propagated by taking stem cuttings and rooting them in the substrate or by attaching them to decorations in the aquarium. Overall, Syngonium plants are a versatile and attractive addition to any aquarium, and can provide both aesthetic and functional benefits.
