I added Salvinia Minima to my 10-gallon tank and it spread quickly, covering the surface and giving my fish a nice shaded area. The leaves are soft and look natural. My shrimp seem more active now, and water clarity has improved.

It grows fast and covers the water surface well. I like how it helps reduce algae growth. A little bit of trimming is needed every few weeks to keep it from taking over, but overall it’s very effective.
