Plant Sizes

The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

The primary function for this 3 Hole Coconut with Moss is to provide colour, plant life and shelter into your aquarium. When the Moss Coconut is placed in an aquarium it will sink straight away and provide immediate impact. The beautiful colour of the moss is very attractive and pleasing on the eye. If you have any shrimp they will immediately take to it as a home and keep it clean by eating any algae that grows on the moss.  A healthy and happy shrimp increases the chances of more shrimp as they are more likely to breed.

It's fascinating to watch the moss grow over time - although it's a slow grower it requires little maintenance. What's more it is accepting of a broad range of water conditions and temperatures making it ideal for any one new into this hobby. Lighting can be very low or very high. Moss can be trimmed with scissors and this will allow the shape to be maintained.  The holes in this 3 Hole Coconut with Moss means it will quickly be adopted by shrimp or fish as their new home. The Moss Coconut makes an ideal addition to any planted aquarium or indeed anyone who is interested in adding a bit of colour to their tank but are unsure how to grow plants. It's also a must have for anyone who wants to keep and breed shrimp and this Moss Coconut will become a home before you know it.

Approx dimensions 10 x 5cm.

Nice

I purchased one of these via eBay and have been asked to leave a review. I like it but it arrived in a bit of a sorry state. There was a lot of brown dying moss but it has over the time I've had it bounced back slowly with the added carbon in my aquarium. I have noticed some odd random little growths that have also now made their way into the substrate which only came from this item as my tank wasn't planted before. I'm not sure what these new tiny plants are but hopefully not something unwanted.

Pleasant experience

While I empathise with the other person who reviewed the 3 hole coconut and had received a pretty poor condition nut. I on the other had received an exceptionally healthy hunk of moss on mine.

I already had a 1 hole coconut and coconut arch in my tank, as well as well as some moss scaper pads. My shrimp much prefer the species of moss attached to the 3 hole coconut over the other kind of moss attached to the other coconuts.

The moss on my 3 hole is very vibrant, healthy green. It came fully intact and all green, stuck to the coconut.

My red crystal shrimp are in love. The adults and babies graze upon the moss as it is good at catching detritus from the water column. They keep the moss clean and this allows it grow more.

The shrimp don't spend much time inside the coconut, just on the moss. My corydoras catfish however, absolutely love all of the coconuts and use them as a safe refuge to rest for a short while.

It arrived in great condition and the shrimps were on it in minutes, however 2 weeks on the moss is starting to break off and looks like its breaking down, I do run o2 and feed heavy due to the numbers of other live plants so not sure if thats the issue.

Pleased with this purchase. Seems pricey at first but when you consider it is a plant and decor/cave in one item it is actually very reasonable. Been in my small new tank for a week and seems to be doing well, already showing signs of growth. Great addition to a small tank as it does 2 jobs in one. A few very small pieces of the moss floated off when I was arranging it in the tank but I was happy to just let them settle and see what happens.
