Bucephalandra Mini Coin

Common Name: Bucephalandra Mini Coin

Bucephalandra Mini Coin is a compact, miniature variation within the Bucephalandra family, perfect for small aquascapes and nano tanks. This aquarium plant features tiny, rounded leaves that grow closely along short, creeping rhizomes, forming a dense, carpet-like structure. Its fine foliage creates a soft, textured appearance, adding a delicate, layered effect to the foreground of planted tanks or accenting aquarium hardscape like rocks and driftwood.

Typically deep green, with subtle shifts in tone that can take on muted hints of bronze or iridescent blue under the right lighting. Despite its small size, Mini Coin’s rich texture and tight growth habit make it a visually striking addition to planted aquariums. It pairs beautifully with other buce aquarium plants, moss aquarium plants, and aquarium carpet plants, offering natural depth and contrast in freshwater tanks without overwhelming the layout.

Key Features & Important Notes

• Bucephalandra is an epiphytic aquarium plant so it can be attached to aquarium hardscape.
