Aquatic plants, lot number 405
20 rooted pieces of dwarf sag around 2-3inches
Kept in an indoor 20 gallon long that may come with:
Pond Snail + (eggs)
Ramshorn Snail + (eggs)
Pros:
- Rooted foreground to midground plant, tends to form a grass-like carpet over time
- Usually spreads by runners once established
- Often does okay in low to moderate light without CO2 in many setups
- Tolerates a fairly wide range of parameters for a carpeting-type plant
- Can help take up nutrients from substrate
- Shorter height can work for foreground without frequent trimming for some tanks
Cons:
- Initial melt after planting or shipping is fairly common
- Can grow taller than expected - sometimes 4-6"+ depending on light/nutrients, not always stays short
- Runners can spread into unwanted areas
- Growth can be slow to start, then pick up later
- Can collect algae on leaves if light is high and nutrients are low
- May need decent substrate to really fill in
