Bucephalandra "Metallic Black" is a stunning and rare variety of the Bucephalandra genus, celebrated for its deep, dark foliage and mesmerizing metallic sheen. It adds a dramatic and luxurious touch to any aquarium setup, making it a favorite among aquascaping enthusiasts and collectors.


Key Features

  1. Coloration:

    • The leaves are an intense dark green to nearly black, with a metallic sheen that can shift between blue, purple, or silver tones depending on the light.
    • The metallic finish gives the plant an almost otherworldly appearance.
  2. Leaf Shape and Texture:

    • Leaves are narrow, elongated, and slightly wavy.
    • The surface is smooth, glossy, and velvety, enhancing its reflective qualities.
  3. Size:

    • Compact and slow-growing, making it perfect for nano tanks or as a midground/foreground plant in larger aquariums.
  4. Growth Rate:

    • Grows very slowly, characteristic of Bucephalandra, making it low-maintenance.

Care Requirements

  1. Lighting:

    • Low to moderate light is sufficient. High-intensity lighting can intensify the metallic sheen but may increase the risk of algae.
  2. Water Parameters:

    • pH: 5.5–7.5
    • Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F)
    • Thrives in soft to moderately hard water.
  3. CO₂ and Nutrients:

    • CO₂ supplementation is beneficial but not essential. It can enhance the plant’s growth rate and coloration.
    • Regular fertilization with liquid fertilizers or root tabs is recommended for optimal health.
  4. Substrate and Placement:

    • Best attached to hardscape elements like driftwood or rocks. Avoid burying the rhizome to prevent rot.

Propagation

  • Rhizome Division: Propagation is achieved by cutting the rhizome into sections, ensuring that each piece has at least 2–3 healthy leaves.
  • Secure the new sections to hardscape to encourage regrowth.

Soft, medium quality
Ok value for the money and doggies liked it. Not very durable but certainly more durable than some. Stitching is good and is ok - good toy overall but nothing exciting and not super durable though far better than some toys that just fall apart. And if your dog isn’t a toy killer this will be a great toy!

My dog Ed gives it two paws up
I have four dogs. One is completely in love with his toys. One is so so about them. The two others have no interest. I got this for the so so dog and he liked it, but only in small intervals. He left it for my other toy loving dog, Ed. For him, it was love at first bite. He took it and happily cuddled with it, threw it around, and watched with an adoring look at the flailing arms. The little squeaks thrilled him (to the chagrin of one of the other dogs who hates squeaks). Definitely a great buy and super cute.

Not the most durable, but it is a quality toy
I bought this as a gift for my friend's mini dachund and I knew she would love it because of the long legs and how soft it is. She loved it alright. So much that she ripped the ear off in the first 10 minutes of having it. It's not durable, given a year old mini weenie can rip it, but it is a good toy for the dogs that don't choose death for every toy they have.
