Subwassertang (Lomariopsis cf. lineata) - 20 Grams - Free Shipping

Create a lush, natural habitat for your shrimp and fish with Subwassertang, one of the most versatile and beginner-friendly aquarium plants available. Its soft, branching fronds form dense mats that provide the perfect hiding place for baby shrimp, fry, and other small aquatic life.

Unlike many aquarium plants, Subwassertang does not need to be planted in the substrate. It can be left free-floating, tucked into hardscape, or attached to driftwood and rocks to create a beautiful, natural appearance. Its low-maintenance nature makes it an excellent choice for shrimp keepers, planted tank enthusiasts, and beginners alike.

At BKs Paws, every portion is harvested from healthy, established aquariums to ensure you receive fresh, vibrant plants ready to thrive.

Care Tips

Subwassertang grows best in gentle water flow and can be left loose, wedged between rocks, or attached to driftwood or other decorations. It does not have true roots, so there is no need to bury it in the substrate. Occasional trimming will help maintain its shape and encourage fuller growth.

Perfect for Shrimp Tanks
Subwassertang is one of the most popular plants among shrimp keepers because its dense growth traps tiny food particles and develops biofilm—a favorite natural food source for shrimp, especially newborn shrimplets.

Shipping Note: Live plants may appear compressed after shipping. Simply place the plant in your aquarium, and it will gradually expand and regain its natural shape over the next several days.

Whether you're breeding shrimp, raising fry, or simply creating a beautiful planted aquarium, Subwassertang is an outstanding choice that combines beauty, function, and ease of care.
