Background plants
Background plants add structure, depth, and a harmonious overall appearance to your aquarium. They usually grow tall and densely and are perfect for concealing equipment like filters or heaters. At the same time, they provide shelter and refuge for fish and shrimp.
Our selection of background plants ranges from fast-growing stem plants to impressive specimen plants. Many species can be trimmed back regularly, promoting bushy growth—ideal for lush, green aquarium landscapes.
Whether you're planting a new tank or adding more height and structure to your existing layout, you can quickly achieve visible results with the right background plants.
