    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

    Take the guesswork out of planting your Fluval Flex 57 with a complete collection of live aquarium plants selected for its dimensions and distinctive rear filter compartment.

    Each collection contains a carefully balanced mixture of foreground, midground and background plants. Taller varieties help soften the rear of the aquarium, while lower-growing plants create natural coverage through the front and centre.

    Our plant team will choose from the healthiest fresh stock available, taking account of mature plant size, placement and the overall balance of the finished aquarium.

    Choose your planting level

    Essential Planting – 12 plants

    A balanced planting level with room for wood, rocks and open swimming space. This is the best option if your aquarium contains a reasonable amount of hardscape or you prefer a more open layout.

    Full Planting – 18 plants

    A denser collection for a fuller planted appearance from the beginning. Choose this option for a lightly decorated aquarium or when plants will be the main feature of the layout.

    What you’ll receive

    Your collection will include:

    • Plants suitable for the foreground

    • Plants to create structure through the midground

    • Taller plants for the background and rear filtration area

    • A balanced mixture of heights, colours, shapes and textures

    • A simple guide showing where each plant should be positioned

    The exact varieties will vary according to the healthiest suitable plants available when your order is picked. If an individual variety is unavailable, it will be replaced with an equally suitable plant for the same position and purpose.

    You will always receive the correct number and balance of plants for the planting option ordered.

    Designed for the Fluval Flex 57

    This collection accounts for the aquarium’s compact footprint, curved viewing area and rear filtration compartment. Taller plants are selected for the back and corners, while smaller plants help keep the front viewing area attractive and open.
