The tree armature holds several Marimo spheres to create the appearance of a miniature tree in full leaf, combining a decorative structure with genuinely living aquatic specimens at a size suited to smaller aquariums.
Marimo are among the easiest and most long-lived aquarium specimens available. They grow extremely slowly in low light without any CO2 injection and require very little attention — a gentle squeeze and reshape once a month is all that is needed to maintain their round form. With proper care they can live for decades.
This is a ready-to-use product — simply rinse and place in the tank. The small size is suited to aquariums of 30 litres and above where it works as a neat midground feature. The Marimo spheres can be removed from the tree and placed freely in the tank if preferred, then reattached to the structure whenever desired.
