Tissue Culture Plants?
Tissue Culture Plants?
- Size: ~ 2.5x2.5 inch
- Lab Grown Plants
- Snail, Algae & Pest Free
PEST FREE
Tissue Culture plants will not introduce snails, planeria, hydra or other pest into aquariums – no nasty surprises.
ALGAE FREE
It only takes one spore of algae to be present on a plant to introduce it to a tank. Aquarium Tissue Culture Plants are guaranteed algae free.
PESTICIDE FREE
No pesticides are used in the growing of Aquarium Tissue Culture Plants. This makes them especially suited for use in Nano tanks which contain invertebrates such as shrimps and snails – did you know that shrimp and snails are 100 times more susceptible to the effects of pesticides than
VALUE IN EVERY CUP
In general depending on plant type you will receive multiple plants in every cup which means the cost per plant stays Low.
PRESERVE THE NATURE
The aquatic plant industry has been growing rapidly which requires a supply of plants on a large scale. The natural habitats of many of aquatic plant species are shrinking as a result of exploitation and rapid depletion of natural habitats. As a result, most of the aquatic plants are under threat of extinction. Thus, Tissue culture has made a significant contribution for propagation and cultivation of plants suitable for industry while conserving aquatic plants in these natural
CLEARLY IDENTIFIED
Each plant comes in a specially marked pack with common and scientific names, along with handy information such as how tall it will grow, ideal pH and temperature, lighting requirements and even a guide to skill
EASY TO PLANT AND GROW
These plants take only minutes to introduce to a tank – simply remove them from the pack, wash carefully under a tap, and plant! It’s easy. And unlike many bunch plants, these plants already have established roots, so they will settle quickly into your tanks.

The redhump eartheater is native to river drainages in northern and western Colombia (Magdalena, Cauca and Sinúbasins), and northwestern Venezuela (El Limón River).[1] It lives in water that is slightly acidic to neutral (6.5 to 7.0 pH) and typically about 24 to 26 °C (75 to 79 °F). It is stenohaline, found only in mainland freshwater environments
redhump eartheaters take substrate material into their mouths and sift out inedible bits of sand or gravel, while consuming detritus and small organisms.
Redhump eartheaters are immediate maternal mouthbrooders. These fish grow relatively quickly, and can be sexed as subadults. Sexual dimorphism is clear - males have a large, red nuptial hump on their heads and grow larger than the females. Mature males develop an iridescence on the scales on their sides and very large humps. Males will display to females by opening their mouths and flaring their gills. Nonreceptive females may be driven from the spawning area. Spawning takes place on a smooth rock or clean sand bed. The female lays one or two eggs, then the male fertilizes them. The female immediately takes the fertilized eggs into her mouth and proceeds to lay more eggs. This continues until spawning is completed. The female carries the eggs until they are free-swimming and have absorbed their yolk sacs, about 2–3 weeks. She eats little to no food during this period. Eventually, she releases them and allows them to search for food, taking them back into her mouth when she feels threatened. The brooding female often signals to her fry when danger is present, and shuts her fry out of her mouth when encouraging then to forage.
