1 x Full Gallon Bag of HORN WORT
Currently kept in outdoor mini ponds so may contain:
Pond Snails
Ramshorn snails
Scuds
Duckweed
Dwarf water lettuce
Cherry shrimp
Pros:
- Tends to grow fast in a wide range of water conditions
- Helps reduce excess nutrients, which can mean less algae for many tanks
- Produces oxygen during light hours
- Can be floated or left loosely anchored, doesn't need to be rooted in substrate
- Generally considered low-demand - often does okay without CO2 or high light
- Provides cover that shrimp and fry tend to use
Cons:
- Known to shed needles/leaves, especially after shipping, trimming, or parameter changes
- Doesn't grow true roots, so it can be hard to keep planted and may drift
- Can grow quickly enough to shade other plants if not trimmed
- Loose pieces can get pulled into filters or make the tank look messy
- Some tanks report it slows growth of nearby plants - debated, but possible
- Brittle stems can break apart when handled
