These are known as <em>pneumatophores<\/em> and they collect oxygen for the submerged roots. Black mangroves typically grow higher above the low-tide mark than both red and white mangroves so that their breathing tubes are never completely submersed in water. Mature trees can reach heights of up to 70 feet tall. Because of their submersed root system they are not good candidates for use in the marine aquarium. As with the white mangrove, they can be grown in specific aquarium biotopes if elevated in substrate above the water line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/blackmangrove1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-168\" width=\"309\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/blackmangrove1.jpg 303w, https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/blackmangrove1-172x300.jpg 172w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 309px) 85vw, 309px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientific Name: <em>Aviennia germinns<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common Name: Black Mangrove<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Origin: Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, Caribbean<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depth Collected: low tide zone<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maximum Height : 70&#8242;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growth Rate: Slow<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Light: High<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temperature: 65-100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Propagation: Rhizomes, Seeds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Difficulty: Moderate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food Value: None<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nutrient Uptake: Fair once established<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flow Rate: Low<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The black mangrove features wide spreading, below ground roots with hundreds of slender, brown, pencil shaped breathing tubes that emerge vertically from the substrate to about a foot high .
