    About Mixed Boxes

    Mixed Boxes are the best way to add lots of plants into your aquarium without the hassle of having to choose the plants - leave it up to the experts!

    Our plant manager will persoanlly pick your plants choosing a range of foreground, midground and background plants. All mixed boxes have a range of colours and sizes so when they arrive with you, it looks beautiful immediately.

    What size should I choose?

    Select the mixed box that is closest to your aquarium taking into consideration any wood or rocks you already have in there. If that's the case, try the next size down.

    Can I request specific plants in a Mixed Box?

    You can't request specific plants but if you'd like more foreground than background for eg, shoot us a message and we'll see what we can do for you.
    Description

    Create a planted setup that actually suits your fish with this hand-picked mix of aquarium plants, chosen by our Plant Manager specifically for warmer discus water.

    Discus are kept at higher temperatures than most planted tanks — typically upper 20s to low 30s°C — and not every plant handles that well. They're also large, gentle fish that need open swimming space, so a discus-friendly layout tends to favour sturdy background and side planting over a densely packed foreground.

    A few things to keep in mind when planning your layout:

    • Choose plants confirmed to tolerate warmer water rather than cooler-water species
    • Leave open swimming space through the mid and foreground for your discus to move freely
    • Background and side planting gives cover without crowding the tank
    • Broader, sturdier leaves generally cope better with warmer, softer water than delicate stem plants

    Each box includes a mix of background, midground and foreground plants suited to warmer discus conditions. As with all our mixed boxes, the exact plants vary week to week depending on what's freshest in stock, so no two boxes are quite the same.

    Sizes run from 50L (12 pots) up to 500L (120 pots), so there's a box matched to your tank. Every plant is packed fresh from our UK facility. We strongly recommend Express Delivery on live plant orders so they spend less time in transit and arrive in the best condition.

    Helpful details before you buy.

    What is included in the Discus Mixed Box?

    Each box includes a mix of foreground, midground and background plants chosen specifically for warmer discus water. The exact selection varies week to week depending on what's looking best in the greenhouse.

    Are these plants suitable for discus tank temperatures?

    Yes. Every plant in this box is picked by our Plant Manager for its ability to handle the warmer water discus need, so you don't have to check compatibility yourself.

    Will I get the same plants as the photo?

    No, the photo is a guide only. Boxes change weekly based on fresh stock, though you'll always get a balanced mix suitable for a discus setup.

    Is this a good option for a new discus tank?

    Yes. It's designed as an economical way to plant a discus aquarium without choosing every plant individually, while still getting good quality stock.

    We recommend Express Delivery for all live plant orders, including this box, so plants spend less time in transit and arrive in the best condition.
