The Shuibizai mangrove tree has intricate pillar roots anchored in the mire. It not only has the functions of blocking mud, preventing tides, and berms in the estuary/intertidal area, but also provides space for activities of fish (mudskippers, soda fish), shrimps, fiddler crabs, birds and other animals and plankton.

Not only that, it is planted by enthusiasts in amphibious tanks and small sea tanks, which can effectively reduce the nitrogen and phosphorus content in the water in the breeding tank and achieve the effect of purifying water quality.

Many people think that mangroves can only live in seawater, but this is not the case. Freshwater is no problem either. Yes, in nature, mangroves can only be found in seawater, but mangroves can be grown in fresh water, even soft water (PH < 7), and they are far tougher than we think.
