I added Juncus Repens to my 10-gallon tank and it has grown steadily over the past two months. The plant looks natural and adds a soft texture to the background. It doesn’t need much light or CO₂, which makes it easy to maintain. I love how it contrasts with my floating plants and gives the tank a wild, organic feel.
