Aquarium Plant Pearl Weed for Foreground Carpets, Shrimp Cover and Flexible Trimming in Planted Tanks

Pearl Weed gives aquarium keepers an easy way to fill the foreground while creating a dense area that shrimp can climb through and baby shrimp can use for cover. Its flexible growth makes it useful for both low carpets and taller planted layouts.

Plant it at the front of the tank, then trim it to suit your aquascape. A good substrate encourages faster growth, while regular gravel can also support it at a slower pace.

Key Features

• Trim Pearl Weed low to form a carpet, giving you control over an open, tidy foreground.
• Let the plant grow taller when your layout needs more height and a fuller planted look.
• Its dense growth gives smaller baby shrimp a place to hide within the aquarium.
• Shrimp can climb across the plant, adding another explorable area to their tank environment.
• Choose the potted option for a solid starting portion, or select the larger Carpet Collection portion for broader initial coverage.

Specifications

• Scientific name: Micranthemum micranthemoides.
• Growth position: Foreground.

• The Carpet Collection portion is approximately the size of a $20 bill.

For a planted foreground that can stay closely trimmed or grow into dense shrimp cover, Pearl Weed offers an adaptable start for your aquascape.
