Elodea densa

Environment Specifics

 * An aquatic weed. Banned in some countries (and states of USA) due to its rapid growth and clogging of water.


 * However it is also a common beginners aquarium plant as it's often to be found on sale very cheaply in pet shops throughout the world. It is a good oxygenator and due to its rapid growth it will reduce levels of Nitrate in the tank.


 * Recommended low light, fast growing plant. Can be floated or planted. If floated it makes a good cover for fry. Propagation by lateral shoots.
