great if tied on rocks and used as a carpet plant. however when pruning it is best to hold the part you are cutting away with your hand before you cut it or it will go all over your surface and you will spend hours cleaning it off.

Be careful what you throw away in your tank that is floating at its surface. This stuff is often discovered as a stole away floating in your tank. I almost threw away mine because I thought it was the beginnings of duckweed. The difference in color you see to the right is the difference of bulbs being used the yellowish color is produced by 6500-6700 bulbs.
