Bucephalandra Brownie Red Coin, commonly known as Bucephalandra Red Mini Coin, is a captivating and rare aquatic plant that brings elegance and vibrancy to any freshwater aquarium. Known for its compact size and striking red coloration, this plant is perfect for aquascaping enthusiasts looking to enhance their underwater landscapes with unique and eye-catching foliage.

Key Features:

• Striking Coloration: Features stunning red to reddish-brown leaves that stand out beautifully against green plants and other aquarium decor.
• Compact Growth: Grows in a small, compact form, making it ideal for nano aquariums, as well as foreground and midground placement in larger tanks.
• Unique Appearance: The rounded, coin-like leaves add a distinct and attractive texture to your aquascape.
• Slow Development: Takes a long time to develop into a thick, compact carpet over rocks and wood, mimicking its natural habitat.

Optimal Conditions:

• Lighting: Prefers low to moderate lighting, which helps maintain its vibrant coloration and healthy growth.
• Substrate: Can be attached to hardscape elements like rocks and driftwood or planted in a nutrient-rich substrate.
• Water Parameters: Thrives in a range of water conditions, with an ideal temperature range of 72F to 82F (22C to 28C) and a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5.

Care and Maintenance:

• Lighting: Low to moderate light conditions are ideal. High lighting may cause algae growth on leaves.
• Attachment: Attach Bucephalandra Red Mini Coin to rocks, driftwood, or other hardscape elements using aquarium-safe glue or thread.
• Water Flow: Prefers gentle to moderate water flow, which mimics its natural habitat and helps prevent algae buildup on its leaves.

Aquascaping Tips:

• Placement: Perfect for foreground and midground areas, providing a pop of color and texture.
• Maintenance: Minimal maintenance is required, but occasional trimming of old leaves can promote new growth and keep the plant looking its best.

Conservation Commitment: Due to the popularity of the Bucephalandra species, they have been heavily collected from the wild, putting them at risk of extinction. At Aquarium Plants Factory, we are committed to providing farm-raised and tissue culture Bucephalandra species to save forests and protect the natural rivers and rainforests of Indonesia.

Aquarium Benefits: Bucephalandra Brownie Red Coin not only enhances the visual appeal of your aquarium with its vibrant red leaves but also contributes to the overall health of the tank by providing hiding spots and grazing surfaces for small fish and shrimp.
