- Rare nano plant
- Small, dark-colored leaves
- Farm-raised, not wild-collected
Bucephelandra 'Black Pearl' gets its name from its dark-colored leaves with a deep green to almost red color. This slow-growing plant has similar care requirements to Anubias plants and will thrive under low light. Bucephelandra Black Pearl is a rare beauty that would be great addition to nano and large aquariums alike. It will grow along via its rhizome while producing small, rounded leaves.

Customer Reviews
The only reason I’m not leaving a 5 star review for this plant is because USPS failed to deliver it in a timely manner. I know this isn’t Aquarium Co-ops fault at all, because it was stuck at a carrier facility here in Nashville for nearly an entire week. (Original arrival date was March 27 but didn’t arrive until April 3.) The plant had melted back almost completely but the rhizome seemed healthy so I put it in my tank anyway. I’ve since seen some new small growth so I think it’s gonna make it. Mainly wanted to leave this review to bring it to Aquarium Co-ops attention because other people might experience similar issues and be unsatisfied with what should have been a stellar product. I’m not sure if there are other shipping carriers or options to consider but I hope your company might be able to find something more reliable in the future. I’ve always been very satisfied with Aquarium Co-op products in the past as well as all your helpful YouTube content for new fish keepers.
I bought this Bucephalandra Black Pearl for my 9 gallon fluval flex with amano shrimp. It is healthy and easily divided into two plants (attached to rocks) They are doing well!
I use AC easy green and have an AC light on a 10 gal tank. This melted in 2 days to be come a stick.
Awesome plant

Bucephalandra Black Pearl
Plant arrived healthy and well packed. I saw some reviews complaining about lack of roots but I’ve ordered bucephalandra from other places and this is pretty normal. It had a little metal clip holding it onto the rock wool. I managed to break 3 good sized pieces out of the rhizome and attached them with some super glue to some driftwood in my tank. It’s been about a week so far and there’s been no die off. Very happy with my new addition to the tank.
The stuff I usually get from these guys is top notch, but this plant was in surprisingly poor shape when I received it. There was no new root growth from the time they propagated it and a lot of the roots were melting inside the pot before I received it. Once it was in my tank, the plant melted back and died in less than a week (and I promise I didn't burry the rihzome).
A healthy pretty plant with no melting.
