Anne Lee –
The red color is very vivid and stands out in my 10-gallon tank. It grows slowly but fills the foreground nicely. I keep it under medium light and add CO₂, which makes the color pop even more. Easy to maintain and looks great in a detailed aquascape.
Liam Alsop –
I love the compact size and the deep red hue. It doesn’t spread too fast, which is good for smaller tanks. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still healthy. A bit of CO₂ helps, but it’s not essential.

This plant adds a lot of visual interest to my tank. The color is intense and the plant forms a dense mat over time. I use it in the midground and it blends well with other species. Very satisfied with the performance.
