Blyxa Japonica is a well-known aquarium plant often used by aquascapers like Takashi Amano to create a full, bushy look in their aquascapes. It grows quickly and easily, making it an excellent choice for all levels of aquascapers. With proper care, the leaves can develop striking colors.
Propagate Blyxa by cutting runners or plantlets that develop from the mother plant. New shoots grow from the base of established plants, like Swords and Vals.

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
