As well, this is a fragile plant, it will break apart under strong water movement. It is suggested to plant / move this plant to areas of slower and calmer water movement.

This one can be a real tank buster. In my 10 gallon DIY c02 40 watts compact fluorescent lighting, it is growing like crazy and I have to trim it weekly. The same for my 40 gallon with 2 55 watt AH supply bright kit lights and 30 ppm pressurized c02. Lol, it is almost as bad as duckweed.

Puntius denisonii (torpedo barbs, roseline sharks) will eat the leaves of this plant. They will completely strip the leaves off over time, and keep eating any new leaves that try to grow.
I could not get this plant to do well in the tank with my Puntius denisonii. I eventually realized the fish were eating the leaves.
I have moved this plant to another tank that does not have any Puntius denisonii, and it has grown back very strong.
