Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini' Large Tub

A compact red-to-purple aquarium plant supplied in a larger cultured tub, giving you more starting plant mass for a stronger foreground-to-midground colour feature.

Quick Facts

  • Scientific name: Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini'
  • Plant type: Stem plant
  • Placement: Foreground to midground
  • Light: Medium to high
  • CO₂: Strongly recommended
  • Selling form: Large tub tissue culture
  • SKU: RATC1105

Is this for you?

Choose this larger tub when you want more starting material for a compact red feature. It suits nano tanks, detailed aquascapes and grouped planting around hardscape.

Why choose it?

The larger cultured portion helps establish a denser group sooner than a standard cup, while retaining the clean-start benefits of tissue culture.

Benefits

  • Rich red, pink and purple potential
  • Larger starting portion
  • Compact growth habit
  • Clean cultured format

Care made simple

Rinse away the culture gel, divide into small portions and plant with spacing. Provide nutrient-rich substrate or regular fertilisation. Stronger light and injected CO₂ usually produce tighter growth and better colour.

Pairs perfectly with

Bright green carpeting plants, dark hardscape and fine-leaved stems.

NTA Insight:
A larger tub gives more starting material, but it does not replace the need for suitable light, nutrition and CO₂ if intense colour and compact growth are the goal.

FAQ

Does it need CO₂?

It may survive without injected CO₂, but CO₂ is strongly recommended for compact growth and strong red colour.

How should I plant it?

Rinse away the gel, divide the culture into small portions and plant them separately.

    Live Arrival & Ordering FAQ

    Why do livestock prices sometimes change?

    Unlike manufactured products, fish and shrimp continue to grow and develop over time. Their value changes as they increase in size, develop colour, or become breeding pairs.

    Our prices are based on the current size, quality and availability of each specimen. While pricing often remains stable for around 3–4 months, it may be updated at any time to reflect these changes.

    We always aim to offer healthy, high-quality livestock at fair and competitive prices.

    Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?

    Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

    In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.

    Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.

    Can you ship to all states in Australia?

    No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.

    What should I check before ordering?

    Before placing an order, make sure:

    • Your tank is fully cycled and stable
    • Your aquarium has enough space for the species
    • Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
    • Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
    • You are not adding too many fish at once
    What should I expect when my fish arrives?

    It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.

    This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.

    How long does it take for fish to settle in?

    Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.

    Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?

    No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.

    If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.

    Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?

    In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.

    • Uncycled or unstable tanks
    • Poor water parameters
    • Overstocking
    • Unsuitable tank mates
    What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?

    Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.

    If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.

    Not sure if this fish is right for your setup?

    If you are unsure whether this species suits your setup, contact us before ordering and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
