DARK CATHERINAE BUCEPHALANDRA CLUMP

BUCE DARK CATHERINAE CLUMP SIZES

Clump Portion Size : Depending on option selected 

You can select your desired size before clicking Add to Cart

Below is an example of around 4cm diameter clump

We will use a ruler when packing to ensure that you will get the portion equivalent size that you selected. These are natural plants so the Buce clump will not be perfectly rounded as every clump is naturally slightly different.

Rest assured that we will pack it very carefully with multiple protections to ensure it arrives to you in safe and good condition (Aquarzon uses 5-6 layers of comprehensive protection - moist serviettes, plastic container, zip seal plastic, bubble wrap providing temperature insulation, hard shipping box for physical protection & water-resistant satchel or similar) 

Portion Type: Most are submersed for around a quarter to one year

BUCEPHALANDRA SPECIES INFO:

Bucephalandra Dark Catherinae is small to medium leaves Buce species with usually darker tones. 

It is a beautiful Buce species that can be positioned in the foreground or midground and best attached to a rock or wood. 

USEFUL INFO:

Aquarzon will pack the clump very carefully to ensure it is safely delivered to you. We use 5-6 layers of protection which provides comprehensive protection (locks moisture, provides physical protection and temperature insulation). 

When it is transitioning to your aquarium which is a new environment for it, it is very normal for a Bucephalandra clump to have a bit of melting on some leaves, etc. This is normal and not a cause of concern.  The clump is currently submersed with CO2 with GH at around 5 and KH at around 3. When aquarium conditions are different (especially if it is going to be moved into a tank with different water parameters/lighting levels or a low tech tank without CO2 addition), the Bucephalandra needs to transition and adapt to its new condition. During the process, it can shed some leaves. To put into perspective, a high tech tank usually has CO2 at around 30ppm. But in a low tech tank, the natural CO2 availability (dissolving into the water from the air) is usually at just around 1-3ppm. This is a difference of 10-30 times. So this is one example of why it needs to adapt itself to its new environment of which during the adaptation/transitioning process (which usually takes a few weeks), it is normal for it to shed some leaves, etc.

As long as it gets sufficient lighting and nutrients in a cycled tank, its rhizomes which is the integral part of a Bucephalandra will remain strong and the Buce will grow new leaves steadily which are fully adapted to your aquarium conditions and water parameters.

While Bucephalandra is totally fine and suitable for low tech tanks, it is always best to ensure it gets sufficient light and nutrients. Nutrients can be supplied through liquid fertilisers.
