I’ve had this plant in my 55-gallon tank for six months. It’s grown steadily without needing much maintenance. The dark green leaves look great even with my community fish. I appreciate how it doesn’t get eaten by my corydoras. Easy to attach to rocks and stays healthy in low light.

Great for beginners. I bought it for my first aquarium and it has been thriving. The leaves are thick and stay green even in a low-light setup. I’ve kept it in both submerged and emersed positions, and it adapts well. No issues with fish nibbling.

It grows slowly, which I like because it doesn’t take over the tank. The color is rich and the plant holds up well in my tank with a few mid-sized fish. A bit of pruning is needed every few months, but overall it’s reliable.
