Creating a Traditional Nature Aquarium Layout - Buce Plant
This little guide will give you a starting point for a high tech scape your own, or inspire you to redo an existing layout you're feeling a little bored with.
Riccardia chamedryfolia
I used some nice, irregularly shaped river stones to create a linear embankment on the left hand side of the tank. Interwoven on top of the stones, I used branches of wood recycled from previous layouts (already colonized with epiphytic aquatic plants such as bucephalandra, anubias, and Hygrophila pinnatifida) to create the impression of tangled roots growing at the side of a flooded creek bed. To heighten the atmospherics, I incorporated the moss-like <anchor>Riccardia chamedryfolia</anchor> and Christmas moss (Vesicularia montagnei) into the hardscape. This time, I used a bit less moss than I normally do (leaving some branches and stones exposed) in order to prevent the hardscape from getting lost in the sauce, so to speak.

Mini Pellia / Riccardia Chamedryfolia / Coral Moss

Mini Pellia is a type of liverwort plant which has grown in popularity and demand over the past few years. It is a very versatile plant that can be attached to hardscape or left free floating. It can be grown under a wide range of aquarium conditions, recommended for breeders, beginners, and all. Pellia can be grown on driftwood, stones or any other decorations with a hard surface. Once established, this plant really tanks off and can grow to cover your aquarium. Like mosses, this plant provides excellent shade and coverage for shrimp and fish.

Note: we experience melting problems with this plant when grown in waters above 83 degrees so keep that tank cool!

**Notes:**

- Aquarium moss is extremely hardy and will survive in a wide range of aquarium parameters.
- Please note, most moss species can contain brown bits and while suitable for low tech tanks, CO2 injection will yield better growth and coloration.
- Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
- CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth.
- Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.

pH: 6-8

Care: Easy

Light: Low to medium

Co2: Not necessary but recommended

Propagation: Cut, rip
