The stems grew well in my 10-gallon tank. They added a soft green background and provided hiding spots for my neon tetras. Easy to plant and maintained well with regular water changes.

I planted five stems and they spread nicely over time. The fine leaves create a natural look. A bit delicate, so I keep the lighting stable and avoid strong currents.

Perfect for small fish tanks. The stems stay upright and don’t float much. I noticed the fry using them as shelter, which was a great addition to the tank.
