One of the few lower light aquarium plants with color! A fantastic addition to your breeding tanks. Fry and shrimplets love to hide in these tall feathery fronds to feed and rest. I have also seen Bettas and livebearers like guppies use these fan-shaped leaves as resting places. they look like they are 'sunning' themselves near the surface!
Requires average light and water parameters, keeping towards the mid-range. Just an excellent plant for bronze-y green feathery background texture!
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 shorter and darker purple/ bronze 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! 💚
