Ecoscape Medium Ambulia/fern Green

Description

Ecoscape Medium Ambulia/fern Green — Mid-ground artificial plant combining fine Ambulia whorls and fern fronds

Mid-ground planting is where texture matters most, because it sits right at eye level between the gravel and the background. Ecoscape Medium Ambulia/fern Green (SKU: 28256) is the Medium size of Aqua One’s Ambulia/fern combination, an Ecoscape plastic plant that sets fine-leaved Ambulia stems, styled on Limnophila sessiliflora, alongside wider fern-like fronds on one weighted base. Retailer listings put Ecoscape Medium plants at about 20 cm tall, which puts the feathery tips at mid-height in a standard tank. The base holds it upright in gravel or sand and lets it be moved whenever the layout changes.

Aqua One describes Ecoscape plants as needing no special lighting, supplements or pruning, safe with destructive fish such as cichlids, free of any risk of bringing in pests or parasites, and lasting longer than live plants because they never rot. The mix of narrow and broad leaves breaks up a run of single-shape plants and gives a planted look in tanks where live ferns and stem plants would not last, such as goldfish, cichlid or low-light set-ups. At 20 cm it works in the mid-ground of a 60 cm tank or along the back of a shallow 30 to 40 cm tank. Pair it with the Small Ambulia/fern Green (SKU 16453) in front for a stepped clump. The range is listed for coldwater and tropical tanks, some retailers also list marine, and plants may differ slightly from the photo. Unlike live plants, it absorbs no nitrate, so keep up routine partial water changes to hold algae back on the fine leaves.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Mid-ground texture: Fine and broad leaves together at eye level.
• Shallow tank backgrounds: Fills the back of tanks around 30 to 40 cm tall.
• Low-light aquariums: Green foliage where live ferns and stems would struggle.
• Cover for shy fish: Dense leaves for tetras, rasboras and fry to retreat into.

Placement & Care Guide

• Rinse before use: Clean water only, never detergent.
• Plant the base: Push the weighted base into the substrate so the stems stand straight.
• Step the heights: Set the Small version in front to lead the eye up to the Medium.
• Clean at water changes: Lift out and rinse off algae and debris.
