Vesicularia sp.
CHF 12.90
Vesicularia sp. – In vitro plant, 6 cm potVesicularia sp. are mosses that form large, dense mats and grow over decorations, stones and roots. They reproduce by division of the plant. They are easy to care for and are recommended for humid terrariums and aquariums. Supplied as an in vitro plant.
Key featuresDifficulty level: easyLight requirement: low to mediumCO₂ requirement: lowFinal height: up to 10 cmGrowth rate: low to mediumTemperature: 18–28 °CPlacement in the aquarium: on decorationsOrigin: South-East AsiaCup size: 6 cm diameter
Mosses are unique yet low-maintenance plants. Compared to traditional aquarium plants, they differ significantly in appearance. They have no true roots, and their stems and leaves are greatly reduced. They grow in the form of green mats that attach to various surfaces in the aquarium.
Vesicularia spreads by creeping over decorative elements and the substrate. With regular trimming and appropriate shaping, it quickly forms a dense, green carpet. The moss should be attached to a decorative element, for example with cotton thread, thin fishing line or special plant glue.This plant has virtually no special requirements regarding water parameters. It grows well under almost all conditions; water hardness, pH value and lighting can be largely arbitrary. CO₂ supplementation is not required either. Propagation is by dividing the plant into smaller pieces. Pruning and shaping are well tolerated and promote attractive, dense growth.In vitro cultures are free from:BacteriaFungiAlgaeannoying snails

The ME My Tank Tower 30 in black is designed precisely for this purpose: it is perfectly matched to the ME My Tank 30 aquarium and creates a calm, modern overall impression.Instead of 'just any' piece of furniture, you get a solution tailored to your tank in terms of proportions, support surface and appearance.
The perfectly fitted, rounded top panel is particularly practical for everyday use. This ensures the aquarium sits flush, the edges appear softer and the set takes on an elegant silhouette.The high-quality black finish suits many interior styles – from minimalist to modern – and draws the eye to where it belongs: your aquarium and its interior design.
At the same time, one thing matters above all else with a base cabinet: stability.
Zoo-Roco tip: Before placing the aquarium on top, use a spirit level to ensure the cabinet is perfectly level. Even slight unevenness can have an impact once the tank is filled. A position without direct sunlight is also ideal – this helps to reduce algae problems.

Particularly striking is the edgeless front, which is curved from a single piece. This creates a calm, modern look with a 'boundless' view – ideal if you want the focus not to be on the aquarium itself, but on your underwater layout. The dimensions (45 × 36 × 34 cm) provide sufficient depth to work with varying heights, pathways, stones or roots and create genuine perspective. To ensure you can start off cleanly right away, a safety mat and a cover pane are already included. The mat supports a stable stand and helps to compensate for unevenness. The cover pane is practical in everyday use, as it can reduce evaporation and neatly seal the tank at the top – particularly pleasant in living rooms or offices.A corner filter is a space-saving solution because it can be integrated discreetly into a corner, thus concealing as little of your layout as possible. For a harmonious overall appearance, this is particularly important in aquascaping: equipment should function, but visually recede.
