The smallest of all aquatic plants, beautiful carpet plant.

Hc is a great plant for the foreground. It spreads quick once established, and for me, it is like a tank, it has steady growth, no matter what.

it like excel, and loves aquasoil, although i have it growing in both AS and inert sand. it grows rather slowly in the sand, but still steadily.

emmersed growth seems to be better than submerged, with the leaves being slightly lighter than submerged leaves.

Can be grown epiphitically(attached to wood) also. It's an all around versatile plant.

This plant and goldfish do not mix.

In less than 12 hours after adding the fish the poor plant was all torn up and had the filter completely clogged.

I'm used to my goldfish eating the plants in her tank, and am constantly experimenting with different plants to see what does well, and what becomes a snack. However, I've never seen her do quite what she did to this plant to any other plant.

I rescued the larger pieces with roots still attached and moved it to the beta tank. We'll see if any of it survives.
