Benefits of the kit 8 plants for scalari

Our plant kit offers a natural and safe environment for scalars, rich in hiding places and shadow areas that favor their well-being. The species included, such as Gigantea Vallisneria, Echinodorus Bleherae e Anubias Barters are resistant and fit well to different water parameters, resulting ideally in tanks with variations of pH, hardness and temperature.

From a aesthetic point of view, plants contribute to a balanced and fascinating set-up: the Gigantean Vallisneria create a green and fluid column in the background, the Anubias Barters add an elegant and easily manageable touch, while the tropic cryptocorys enrich the intermediate area with varied colors and shapes.

Maintenance is simple and within everyone's reach: these plants are robust, they do not require co₂ plants and also develop well in low-tech aquariums with low or media lighting. They are therefore perfect for those in the first experiences with aquarium.

In addition to aesthetic value, plants improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients and helping to reduce algae proliferation. They also offer a stable, essential environment for scalar welfare.

The layout is flexible and allows a natural and balanced layout: VALLISNERIA can be placed in the background, the Echinodorus and the Cryptocorys in the central strip, while the Anubias They lend themselves well to the first floor.

This kit is particularly suitable for aquariums from 120 to 150 liters, thanks to the variety of plants with growth rates and different characteristics, ideal for creating a dynamic and harmonious habitat for scalars.

TIP FOR THE EQUIPMENT:

For a balanced and functional visual effect to the behavior of scalars, it is advisable to position the Pteropus microsorum on rocks or woods in the side or central areas of the tank, leaving the leaves flow naturally. The Balansae Cryptocoryne are perfect for the central or rear band, where long and curled leaves add depth and movement.

The Anubias Barters, both in the Nana and Standard version, can be fixed on woods or rocks: the standard ones in an intermediate position, while the dwarf varieties are ideal for the first floor, where they guarantee visual continuity and order without cluttering.

A set-up enriched with natural branches and neutral rocks contributes to enhancing the elegance of the plants and offers scalari a stimulating habitat and close to the original one.
