Description
A set of five small slate rocks each pre-grown with aquarium moss, creating a collection of compact planted features ready to arrange anywhere in the aquarium. Slate has a flat, layered appearance quite different from lava rock — its blue-grey tone and clean, geometric lines create a sleek naturalistic aesthetic that contrasts well with the soft green of the moss and works particularly well in Iwagumi-style and minimalist aquascape layouts.
Aquarium moss is one of the easiest plants in the hobby — it grows in low light without CO2 injection and tolerates a wide range of water conditions. The five-piece set gives you the flexibility to scatter them naturally across the foreground, stack them, or arrange them into a structured layout. Shrimp and fry benefit from the shelter and grazing surface the moss provides.
All five pieces are pre-grown so no further attachment is needed — simply rinse and arrange in the aquarium. The slate sinks immediately. As a set, the pieces provide far more visual coverage and impact than a single piece and suit aquariums of 30 litres and above. The exact rock shapes vary, giving a natural, hand-selected appearance.
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.

Why slate rather than lava rock?
Slate has a flatter, more geometric profile with a blue-grey tone that creates a different aesthetic to lava rock. It suits minimalist and Iwagumi-influenced layouts particularly well.
What species of moss is used?
The moss species may vary with seasonal availability. Contact us if a specific species is important.
Do I need to do anything when they arrive?
No — just rinse each piece and arrange them in the aquarium. The moss is pre-established and ready to go.
Can I stack or arrange the pieces?
Yes — the flat profile of slate makes it easy to stack, layer, or position pieces in different configurations. Experiment with the arrangement to get the look you want.
Is it suitable for shrimp tanks?
Yes, fully. Moss on slate is a popular shrimp tank feature — the moss provides grazing and shelter and slate is aquarium-safe and inert.
