1 x Gallon Bucket of Corkscrew Val

You will be given this ice cream bucket full of corkscrew val as is, plants will not be removed.

I will find a cover for it.

Currently kept in outdoor mini pond so may contain:
Pond Snails
Ramshorn snails
Scuds
Duckweed
Dwarf Water Lettuce
Cherry shrimp
Rice fish eggs

Pros:

  • Rooted plant with distinctive spiral leaves, adds height/movement in the background
  • Tends to spread on its own by runners once established
  • Often does okay in low to moderate light without CO2 in many tanks
  • Can help take up nutrients from both water and substrate
  • Provides cover along the back wall that fish and shrimp tend to use
  • Usually tolerates a range of hardness

Cons:

  • Can grow tall and may need trimming or thinning
  • Initial melting after planting or shipping is fairly common, regrowth can take time
  • Runners can spread into places you didn't plan, can be hard to contain
  • Tends to dislike liquid carbon / glutaraldehyde products - some tanks report melting
  • Growth rate varies a lot with substrate and light - can be slow at first
  • Leaves can collect algae if light/nutrients are out of balance
