The yellow rotala macranda grew well in my 10-gallon tank. It’s vibrant and adds a nice color to the water. The plants arrived healthy and were easy to set up. I’ve kept them for three months and they’re still thriving.

I bought this for my beginner aquarium. The plants are colorful and spread nicely. They didn’t require much maintenance. I noticed they grow a bit faster in moderate lighting.
