These "rainforests by the sea" prevent erosion and house a diverse population of indigenous animals.Red Mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), characterized by their spider-like "prop roots" that stand out of the water, are very popular among aquarists for several reasons.Simple, Varied Planting OptionsRed Mangroves arrive at approx 8? - 16?, They will do well in sand or mud. They?re also perfectly happy growing in gravel, live rock or water with no substrate at all. Just make sure that leaves are above the water, and the root system stays wet / moist.Tolerance to Several Degrees of SalinityRed Mangroves can thrive in fresh, brackish, or full seawater (although they cannot be moved freely between water of varying salinity). This adaptability is possible because the plant conserves fresh water by excreting salt through its leaves.Affinity for Bright Light and WarmthRed Mangroves thrive under correct lighting, or even placement next to a large, bright window. They also require temperature above 60F (which is typical of most indoor home aquariums). Red Mangroves may even be planted in outdoor ponds, provided they are not exposed to nearfreezing temperatures.Interesting Facts:Family:Rhizophoraceae.Origin:Intertidal Waters of Tropical Oceans.Tank Setup:Brackish to full Seawater.
