Product Description: Hemianthus callitrichoides
Qty: 1 plant potted
Hemianthus callitrichoides is very popular as a foreground plant in the aquarium trade. Until very recently, this plant was known as Hemianthus callitrichoides, but a revision of the genus has brought us a new name to remember! All the plants we previously called Hemianthus have been moved back into Micranthemum. Micranthemum callitrichoides 'Cuba' has very small leaves and grows in a spreading fashion making it one of the shortest options for a foreground plant. For optimal growth from Dwarf Baby's Tears, as it is sometimes referred to, use highlighting and CO2 injections. However, this plant is probably the best carpet plant for a non-CO2 tank, as long as there is a nutritious (soil based) substrate and good aquarium care.
Divide several pots into very small portions and plant with aquascaping pinsettes through the desired area for the best coverage. Watch them spread quickly to form a dense foreground carpet.

Please make sure you are at home the day of the arrival or arrange for someone to be there to receive the plants/shrimp and that they know how to properly care for the plants/shrimp. The less time they spend in the box the better.

Livestock:
We guarantee live arrival on all our livestock. In the rare event livestock shows up dead, we must be notified within 2 hours of delivery. Keep in mind these plants/livestock just took the journey of their lifetime in a dark box for 2-4 days so they will take time to recover and to be at their best again. Please take clear photos of the dead plant/livestock and send it to us within 2 hours of receiving the item and send the clear photos to ebay once the item is validated by us, we will send a replacement or refund.
Failure to comply with one or more of these policies will mean we can no longer cover you.
We guarantee live arrival of all livestock. This means we assure that livestock will show up alive. We do not guarantee your success in keeping the livestock alive/healthy. Lots of outside factors that we cannot control go into the success or failure of keeping livestock healthy. We are here to help but are not liable after you have received the livestock alive.
Do your plants have snails?
We try not to have snails/pests, but it happens, we remove any visible imperfections before shipment however to be 100% certain we suggest that you either do a 1:20 ratio bleach to water dip and/or wash the plants. Anytime you add something new to an aquarium it is important to rinse it off before adding just to be safe.
