Bucephalandra Mini Catherinae is a variety of mini to small type of Buce which grows very narrow leaves. Based on Aquarzon's research, it is understood to be the smallest variety among the several different varieties of the Catherinae. The leaves are usually greenish. Under RGB LED lighting, some blue tone can usually be appreciated. 

It in the 3rd photo here taken by Aquarzon, the comparison between Bucephalandra Black Catherinae (top part of 3rd photo) vs Mini Catherinae (bottom part of 3rd photo) can be seen. This photo was taken under MML RGB LED. The Mini Catherinae appears smaller than the Black Catherinae. 

When grown under higher lighting intensity with RGB LED, Bucephalandra Mini Catherinae usually develops darker green leaves with some blue tone.

Our original stock was sourced from a local Australian aquarium hobbyist more than 2 years ago.

Please note that not every piece has the same colour tone as it can change based on aquarium conditions that vary from time to time. For example, even by just moving it from center to a side of an aquarium, its new growth may be greener due to the reduction in lighting received. Aquarium lighting can also affect its appearance. Under pure white lighting, most Buce appear greener and under RGB LED aquarium lighting, most Buce usually reflect more colourful tones.

The Bucephalandra rhizome for sale here by Aquarzon here is indoor aquarium submersed grown. It is not emersed or tissue culture which can suffer melting when transitioned to an aquarium. This leads to ammonia and organics increase, making it susceptible to algae issues like BBA. It is also not pond grown which can carry outdoor parasites and diseases. It is also not harvested from the wild as it is non-legal and can cause extinction. The Buce rhizome for sale here is naturally aquarium-propagated which takes a long time due to its very slow growth rate. 

Majority of our Buce is aquarium submersed grown for 1-3 years and only sold once they meet our quality standards. The price reflects the care, effort and time in propagating these very slow-growing plants (some growing just 1 leaf in 2 weeks).

By purchasing from Aquarzon, you are assured of quality, indoor aquarium submersed grown Bucephalandra that do not suffer diseases or emerse-to-submerse melting issues that can affect emersed-grown Bucephalandra and support sustainable growth efforts which helps protect them from extinction.
