I added Creeping Charlie to my 20-gallon tank and it spread quickly without needing CO2. The green vines look natural and I can trim them whenever I want. Easy to maintain and adds a nice texture to the water.
Austin Ferguson –
It grew well in my community tank. The leaves are healthy and the plant doesn’t compete with fish for space. I like how it fills gaps in the background.
Una James –
Perfect for beginners. It grows fast and doesn’t need special lighting or CO2. I trimmed it last week and it regrew nicely. Very satisfied with the purchase.
