Lovely, easy plant just perfect for the beginner!
Anacharis (Elodea or Waterweed) grows in single long lengthy stems with occasional branching. Be sure to trim and replant!
A bit of an oddity such as Guppy Grass, Anacharis --scientifically Egeria densa-- doesn't 'Root" like traditional plants. You'll see it send out the random long anchor root, but it is easily uprooted.
A bunch is 4-6 collected stems, and may be branched or rooted. (6-10" tall)
Grown SUBMERGED.
Growing requirements:
- 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Ph 6-8
- Lower to medium light intensity.
- Grows quickly
- Gets more compact in high lights and co2
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!
I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏
Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚

healthy portion was packaged very appropriately, melted a little but thats to be expected due to the nature of the plant but it bounced back wonderfully with a little time :^)
I think I have ordered something like 10 bunches total to date. I put it in all my tanks. It's a great fast-growing background plant that all my fish, shrimp, and snails seem to enjoy. Super easy too for any beginners!
Came healthy. Have had good success buying from here so far. Fish and plants.
Great plant, livens up my tank!
Healthy plants, very well packaged!
