Hygrophila pinnatifida

Info

The planted Nano Cave with Hygrophila pinnatifida offers versatile design options for hiding places and retreats in your aquarium. The decorative cave made from half a coconut, equipped with an ‘entrance’, is popular with many aquarium inhabitants as a hiding place or spawning site. Thanks to the delicate, feathery leaves of Hygrophila pinnatifida, the Nano Cave blends harmoniously into any underwater landscape and adds a touch of wilderness to the aquarium.
Ideal for nano aquariums, but also a real eye-catcher in larger tanks. Particularly exciting for children: with colourful gravel or small decorative elements, the planted coconut cave can be quickly transformed into an imaginative underwater adventure - perfect for creative water worlds in the children's room!
