I’ve been using Subwassertang in my shrimp tank for three months now. The plants grow well in low light and the shrimp love the hiding spots. Easy to attach to driftwood and they stay healthy without needing much maintenance.

The plant arrived quickly and looks exactly as described. I attached a few to the back wall and the shrimp have started using them as shelters. It’s a simple, effective plant for a small tank.
