• Rapid growth: Grows quickly, absorbing excess nutrients (e.g. nitrates) from the water and providing shelter for fry and small fish

Plant Profile

Care Instructions

Planting: Best grown floating but can be anchored to hardscape and floor. Trimming may be required to prevent overgrowth.

Please note: Our tanks may contain other aquarium 'pests'. If you wish to keep your aquarium snail and pest free, rinse plants gently before adding them to your tank.
