The sera Scaper Root is a particularly filigree root ideally suitable for natural imitation of landscapes. Its color is dark brown already when dry, and appears almost black under water. If the root is to be placed freely in the aquarium, it should be watered before introduction as to prevent it from floating. Alternatively the sera Scaper Root can be weighted in the aquarium by means of rocks or other roots.Unlike other common roots on which unsightly bacterial growth often forms during the start phase, only a hardly visible biofilm settles on the sera Scaper Root, which serves as a nutrient source for shrimps and snails. For instance, various moss types such as Java moss or Phoenix moss, that can be attached by means of fishing line, are suitable for the planting. However, the filigree root will become an eye-catcher in the aquarium also without planting.sera Scaper Root -Decoration Root-The sera Scaper Root is available in three sizes:+ sera Scaper Root XS: approx. 18 - 20 cm+ sera
