Received my Java Fern in perfect condition. It arrived alive and has started growing well in my 10-gallon tank. The leaves are healthy and the fish love the hiding spots it provides. Easy to care for and very affordable.

The mini version fits perfectly in my small tank. It’s easy to attach to rocks and has grown steadily over the past month. My shrimp use it as a shelter and the water looks cleaner now.
