Heather Kerr –
The plant grows quickly and fills the front of my nano tank nicely. I use it with a CO2 system and good lighting, and it forms a dense green carpet. Very easy to maintain once set up.
Andrea Cameron –
It spreads well in my 10-gallon tank. I didn’t use CO2 at first, but growth was slower. After adding CO2, it became much more compact and vibrant. Good for beginners with some experience.
Nicholas Slater –
I love the fresh light green color and the way it spreads. The plant is compact and doesn’t take over the tank. Works well in low-light setups with occasional CO2.
