Hygroryza aristata (aka Asian Watergrass)

[Mykiss]

Well, I've got a bunch available now. These are really nice floating plants which also seem to do a great job sucking out nutrients to out compete with algae e.g. green water.

These plants seem to be easy to grow as they just float on the surface. When they grow they branch off into new stems and spreads. This floating plant is VERY easy to harvest unlike duckweed or salvinia and looks nice. It reminds me of bamboo leaves on the surface of the water.

They are great for shrimp tanks as they also provide a lot of roots that the shrimplets can hang out in and pick through. They are also good at using up excess nutrients.

They are $5 for 2 stems and each stem will have at least 10 leaves.

Patrick is right, these are PERFECT for shrimp tanks, and definitely soak up nitrates.
