Bucephalandra 'Super Mini Coin'

Tiny, perfectly rounded leaves on one of the smallest Buce cultivars available — a collector's foreground plant scaled for nano tanks and detailed hardscape work.

Exceptionally Small Leaf Size Rounded Coin-Shaped Leaves Rhizome — Do Not Bury Low to Medium Light No CO₂ Required Shrimp & Fry Safe

Bucephalandra 'Super Mini Coin' is among the smallest Bucephalandra cultivars available — a foreground and detail plant with tiny, near-perfectly rounded leaves that stay consistently miniature as the plant matures. The 'Coin' name describes the leaf shape precisely: small, circular, and flat with a smooth dark green surface and a subtle iridescent sheen that catches light in the way all Buce do, but in a form factor that makes it suited to positioning that no other cultivar in the genus can fill. On a small stone, tucked into a crevice in driftwood, or clustered at the foreground of a nano tank, 'Super Mini Coin' delivers the refined, collector-grade quality of Bucephalandra at a scale that fits where larger Buce simply cannot go. Like all Buce, it grows slowly, attaches to hardscape over time, feeds through its leaves, requires no CO₂, and is fully safe with all Neocaridina, Caridina shrimp, and fry.

Growth & Behavior Over Time

Tiny, rounded leaves that stay consistently small — the defining characteristic of 'Super Mini Coin' is its leaf size and shape. Individual leaves are small and nearly circular, dark green with a smooth surface and a soft iridescent sheen. The compact scale is a stable cultivar trait — leaves do not grow larger as the plant matures, making this one of the few Buce cultivars that is genuinely suitable for nano tank foregrounds and very small hardscape pieces. Suited to positions no other Buce can fill — the miniature scale opens placement options unavailable to larger cultivars. Small stones, fine-grained hardscape crevices, shallow foreground positions, and close-focus detail areas in nano tanks are all natural homes for 'Super Mini Coin' in a way that 'Crocodile', 'Venus', or even 'Artemis' cannot match due to their comparatively larger leaf size. Slow growth builds a dense, jewel-like cluster over time — 'Super Mini Coin' grows slowly even by Buce standards, adding leaves gradually and expanding its rhizome in small increments. The payoff is a tightly clustered, multi-leaf grouping that has a gem-like density and refinement — a plant that looks increasingly impressive the longer it has been established in one position without disturbance. Initial melting after introduction is common and temporary — like all Bucephalandra, 'Super Mini Coin' frequently sheds older leaves when moved to a new tank. New growth from the rhizome tip signals recovery. Leave the plant undisturbed and maintain stable water parameters through the two to four week adjustment period. Shrimp interact with it differently than larger-leafed Buce — the small leaf size and the gaps between leaves on the rhizome make 'Super Mini Coin' particularly attractive to shrimplets and small juvenile Neocaridina and Caridina that navigate around and between the leaves while grazing the biofilm that develops across each small surface. Attaches progressively to hardscape surfaces — anchoring roots develop along the rhizome over several weeks, gripping driftwood and porous rock progressively. Thread or a small amount of super glue gel holds the rhizome in place while the attachment becomes self-sustaining — particularly important for a small plant on detailed hardscape where repositioning later would be disruptive.

Getting Started

1 Never bury the rhizome — the horizontal stem connecting roots and leaves must remain fully above the substrate at all times. Burial causes rot that spreads through the plant quickly. Attach to hardscape or rest on the substrate surface with the rhizome fully exposed — especially important for a small plant where rot can consume the entire rhizome before it becomes visible.
2 Choose a small, detailed piece of hardscape — 'Super Mini Coin' is most effective on appropriately scaled hardscape — a small stone, a narrow branch of driftwood, or a detailed crevice where the compact leaf clusters can read clearly at close range. On large pieces of wood or rock, the plant can get visually lost; on smaller, well-placed hardscape, it becomes a focal point.
3 Secure with thread or super glue gel and leave undisturbed — attach the rhizome firmly and resist the urge to reposition. 'Super Mini Coin' establishes more slowly than larger Buce and disturbance early in the attachment process resets progress. A plant left completely undisturbed for the first several weeks will establish a far stronger attachment than one that has been adjusted repeatedly.
4 Dose liquid fertilizer consistently — as an epiphyte, 'Super Mini Coin' draws all nutrition through its leaves from the water column. A balanced liquid fertilizer routine covering macros and micros sustains steady leaf production and maintains the quality of the iridescent sheen on established leaves — more important here than with larger Buce since each individual leaf carries more visual weight relative to the plant's total size.
💡 Bonus Tip

'Super Mini Coin' is the ideal Buce to place at the very foreground of a nano tank on a small, low-profile stone — positioned where shrimp pass over it constantly, the tiny rounded leaves and the shrimp grazing between them create a detail layer at the front of the tank that pulls the viewer's eye downward and into the layout in a way that larger foreground plants rarely achieve.

Policies & Disclaimers

Choosing your portions, using the plant promotion, and knowing what to expect when your plants arrive.

Buy 2 Get 1 Free: add all three

Choose three eligible plant items and add all three to your cart, including the plant you want free. The discount applies automatically at checkout; no code is needed. Adding only two items does not add a third plant for you.

Mix and match eligible varieties or choose multiple quantities of the same eligible plant. The least expensive eligible item is free. For example, with eligible items priced at $5, $8 and $10, the $5 item is discounted and the plant subtotal is $18 before shipping and tax.

The offer repeats for complete qualifying groups: three eligible items give one free, six give two free, and nine give three free. The current offer has no per-order use limit. Items must be included in the promotion; Plant Weights and other non-plant accessories do not qualify.

An item means the sale unit in your cart. One bunch, cup, portion or multipack counts as one item when purchased at quantity one, not one item for every stem, leaf or bulb inside it. Check the listing and selected option for what each unit contains.

Check the discount and quantities in your order summary before paying. Other promotions can affect the final discount; multiple product discounts do not stack on the same item. This is an online checkout offer, not an automatic in-store POS discount.

Portions, sizes & what you receive

Read this plant’s description and selected option for its sale format, portion size and any stated stem or plant count. A bunch, loose portion, rooted plant, bulb, cup and mounted plant are different products; there is no single size or count that applies to every plant we sell.

A mature height or spread describes potential growth in an aquarium, not the size shipped. Use the advertised purchase portion to plan your order. A full carpet, dense moss-covered surface or established group in a photograph may require several portions and time to grow.

Do not assume that a pot, planting weight, rock, wood, substrate or other display accessory is included unless the listing explicitly says it is. If the received portion appears different from the selected listing, photograph it with its packaging and contact us promptly.

Photos, color & natural variation

Photos illustrate the named plant or variety and its appearance. Living plants vary in leaf size, shape, root development, branching and fullness; a photo of an established specimen is not a measurement of each portion shipped. The product description and selected option remain the reference for your purchase.

Aquarium lighting, camera settings and the growing environment affect perceived color. Red or pink varieties can look different under different lighting and growing conditions. Do not use a photograph alone to select a plant’s care requirements or expect immediate mature coloration.

Above-water growth & the transition underwater

Some aquarium plants can grow with their leaves above water as well as submerged. These growth forms can have different leaf shapes and appearances. New underwater growth may look different from older leaves as the plant adjusts. This explanation does not mean every plant is supplied in the same growth form; follow any specific information in the listing.

Leaf loss or softening after a change of environment is often called melt. Look at the plant as a whole and its growing points rather than judging only one older leaf. Do not assume that a damaged plant is simply transitioning or wait for new growth before reporting an arrival problem.

This is background care information, not a new exclusion from the Live Arrival Guarantee. Arrival damage is assessed under the existing policy.

Planting: match the method to the plant

For stem plants, separate the stems and plant with room between them. For rosette plants, position the roots in the substrate without burying the crown. Remove transport bindings and growing material carefully where appropriate.

For Anubias and Java fern, keep the rhizome exposed rather than burying it. Moss can be divided into smaller portions and attached to suitable hardscape. Floating plants belong at the surface. Bulbs and tubers need species-specific planting depth; do not assume every type should be fully buried.

Keep plants damp while working. Follow the individual listing for placement and care, especially when a plant has unusual requirements. These are planting tips, not additional conditions for a claim.

Growth, tank conditions & choosing companions

Plan for the plant’s mature size, available light and the space it will occupy. A background stem plant, slow-growing rhizome plant and floating plant serve different roles; a purchase portion does not instantly create a finished aquascape.

Use the listing’s guidance on light, nutrients and carbon dioxide rather than assuming every plant needs the same setup. Growth rate and final appearance depend on aquarium conditions and maintenance. More light alone is not a substitute for a balanced setup.

Consider animals that dig, uproot or eat plants before choosing placement. Floating growth can shade plants below it, and fast-growing plants may need thinning. Observe new growth and make gradual, species-appropriate adjustments.

Hitchhikers & introducing plants

Our existing policy does not guarantee pest-free arrival. Plants can carry tiny organisms or eggs, including snail eggs, despite inspection. Inspect new plants before introduction, and consider separate observation or quarantine to protect an established aquarium.

Do not assume a plant is sterile, pesticide-free or safe for a particular treatment unless the listing explicitly provides that information. Sensitive leaves, mosses and roots can respond differently to dips. Research the exact plant and any treatment before using it; do not apply an animal medication or a strong dip by default.

Arrival problems: document and contact us promptly

For damaged or dead plants, email support@superiorshrimpaquatics.com within two hours of the carrier’s recorded delivery time. Use the email address on the order and include all arrival concerns in your first message.

Send clear photographs of the affected plants and their packaging, with the shipping label or invoice visible for identification. Photograph packaging damage before unpacking or discarding materials, and consult the full guarantee’s documentation instructions. Keep the original photos.

The current guarantee covers aquatic plants but excludes promotional or free items. That existing exclusion also matters when ordering a free promotional plant. Claims and available resolutions are assessed under the full policy; this tab does not expand or reduce coverage.

Shipping your plants

Plants ship Monday and Tuesday, with Wednesday shipping available for 2-day or overnight services. Orders remain subject to stock, fulfillment timing and weather holds under our shipping policy. A shipping-service estimate is not a guaranteed dispatch date.

Plan to receive the package promptly and inspect it on arrival. Review the full shipping information for weather precautions, transit expectations and delivery issues. If your cart also contains live animals, review the shipping requirements for those animals as well.

Returns & order questions

Check the plant name, portion, quantity and selected option before completing checkout. Contact us before sending anything back; returns require prior written authorization under our existing policy. The full return policy explains the applicable conditions.

This tab explains the existing offer and policies alongside plant-care guidance. Care tips do not create new claim requirements or exclusions. Refer to the linked policies for complete terms.
