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 the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!

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!

Great plant, livens up my tank!
