Ceratophyllum demersum ‘Foxtail’ is also popular as Hornwort. It is a popular freshwater and unique aquarium plant that grows very fast. Ceratophyllum exhibits over 300 species, but Ceratophyllum demersum is the most common among all. It is an undemanding plant, therefore suitable for beginners too. Due to Foxtail’s fast-growing and undemanding nature, it is recommended for initial planting and breeding tanks as it helps build the confidence of new aquarists. Foxtail is rootless, free-floating plant and is believed to be found in a smaller tributary in Bolivia during an expedition to Rio Guapore, a boundary river between Brazil and Bolivia.
Appearance: Even though Ceratophyllum demersum is a rootless plant, it is possible to plant it at the bottom of the tank. Leaves and rhizoids help anchor the plant in the substrate. Generally, one plant adorns many stems, giving the look of multiple plants. At the same time, leaves grow dense and compact, giving an attractive appearance. In the natural habitat, Foxtail can grow up to 10 feet long and 1/10 inch in diameter. Typically, the color of the plant is dark green, though, in warm conditions, lighter green shades occur too.
Hard/Soft Plant: Ceratophyllum demersum ‘Foxtail’ is a hard plant.
Ideal water temperature: The ideal water temperature ranges between 15 and 30 degree Celsius.
Lightening conditions: Moderate lighting is enough to help Foxtail attain good growth.
Ideal pH level: This plant stays comfortable in the pH range from 6.0 to 7.5, while hardness should be 5-15 dGH.
Propagation: In the wild, Foxtail grows easily through vegetative propagation. In this plant, the main step grows multiple side shoots that get detached over time and become a whole new plant. If you want to multiply Foxtail in your aquarium, try cutting off a side stem and planting or floating it elsewhere. Over the next couple of weeks, this should develop as a new plant.
Other requirements: 15 gallons should be the minimum tank size, or the plant may quickly get out of control with its fast growth rate. Regular trimming is essential to control the growth of Foxtail.
Do you know: Due to rapid growth habit, Ceratophyllum demersum ‘Foxtail’ becomes too large and begins to dominate the tank. Therefore, it is essential to keep pruning them, or else they cover the entire surface and prevent light from reaching the lower surface of the tank.

Division: Magnoliophyta
Class: Liliopsida
Order: Alismatales (Arales)
Family: Araceae
Native Distribution: Sri Lanka
Aquarium Placement: Anywhere
Requirements: Stable conditions
Plant DescriptionNative to the island of Sri Lanka, Cryptocoryne wendtii is one of the most common and widely used aquarium plants available today. It is also one of the most variable species, with several color variations including reds, browns, greens, and several mixes of those. To add to the variety, the texture of the leaves can vary greatly within the species, as can the leaf size, ranging from 5 to 18 inches. It can also be one of the easiest plants to grow and cultivate, even if it does have some finicky moments. Cryptocoryne wendtii can tolerate low light or high light, and seems to respond with longer foliage in lower light conditions. While it responds to CO2 injection, it will grow perfectly fine without it. The plant only requires stable conditions and some time to adjust after being introduced into a new setting.Uses in AquascapingThis variably sized Cryptocoryne can be used as a foreground plant in larger tanks with good light, assuming a variety is chosen that tends not to grow too large (such as the green varieties), or as a nice focal point in the midground of moderately sized aquariums. In smaller tanks it can be used as a distinct background plant where its leaves may reach the top and bend over to float along the water’s surface. Its rosette growth form provides contrast to clumps of stem plants and can be used to separate the aquascape into well-defined groups or sections. The aquascaper can also take advantage of this growth form by using it to hide the bottom portions of stem plants, as stem plants tend to shed the leaves on the lower portions of the stem because they are deprived of light. A well-planned grouping of Cryptocoryne wendtii can be used to make an attractive focal point or to draw focus to an adjacent area of interest. The wide variety of color and texture forms available within this species gives the aquarist a vast array of choices that will best suit the intended use.PropagationCryptocoryne wendtii can be very easy to propagate. The grower only needs a portion of root with a living node to grow a new plant. However, growth is generally slow and it can take several months to have a full-sized plant develop. Most growers will pull up a larger plant and split it apart into clumps of smaller plantlets. These are simply replanted a few inches apart to allow for some growing room. It also reproduces via runners, or rhizomes, that develop from the roots. In nature it also reproduces from seed. There are many hobbyists who grow these Cryptocoryne emersed, trying to mimic their natural environment and to encourage the development of interesting and beautiful flower structures. Notes: Many hobbyists who first get Cryptocoryne wendtii into their aquariums will see a sudden deterioration in the plant and may think they have somehow killed it, even while other plants are thriving. It is important to keep in mind that these plants, while easy to maintain and grow once established, are finicky about changing conditions. Any sudden or drastic change in their surroundings can trigger this mysterious crypt melt. While the plants may seem to have suddenly died, a little patience by the hobbyist will shortly be rewarded by new leaves coming up from the otherwise healthy plant’s roots. | Echinodorus tenellus is a carpeting aquarium plant used by aquarists worldwide. Echinodorus tenellus has a striking resemblance to the Hairgrass plant but differs in the texture and size of the leaf. Also commonly called pygmy or dwarf chain grass, this fast-growing plant is native to regions of South, Central and North America. Highly recommended as a foreground and mid-ground plant due to it’s stunted growth, Echinodorus tenellus is easy to grow and has very little or no demands for optimum growth. With moderate levels of carbon dioxide, sunlight and a nutrient rich substrate, Echinodorus will grow in no time. In the natural habitat, this plant grows in submerged condition. Appearance: The leaves of Echinodorus tenellus can grow as much as 5 to 10 cms long and have a feather-like appearance. Although it bears resemblance to hairgrass plant, the leaves of E.tenellus are coarser, larger and thicker which lends a rugged natural look to the aquarium. The rosette leaves have a rich green hue when subjected to optimum lighting conditions. Otherwise, they tend to become reddish brown in color. Hard/Soft plant: Hard plant Ideal water temperature conditions: Echinodorus tenellus prefers a wide range of tropical temperatures between 19 and 30 degree Celsius. Ideal lighting conditions: Echinodorus tenellus can tolerate moderate to bright lighting requirements for optimum growth. Optimum water pH levels: Echinodorus tenellus thrives in water having pH levels range between 5 and 7.5. Uses and Advantages: 1) Echindorus tenellus is a versatile aquatic plant. It is ideal as a carpeting plant for medium to large size aquariums and as a background plant in nano aquariums where carpeting plants are used in the foreground. 2) When planted between stones, it creates a softer tank environment. Otherwise, the dense foliage gives a rugged natural look to the aquarium. 3) The leaves of Echinodus tenellus serves as a hiding place for small fishes and fry. They provide a nesting place for spawning fishes. Did you know? Echinodorus tenellus sends out runners and plantlets appear along with their length. Once roots appear, the plantlets can be snipped and replanted in the substrate. New plants will develop in no time. | Glossostigma Elantinoides is a low growing aquatic plant that originates from New Zealand. It is a perfect foreground plant that if given sufficient lighting and nutrients can grow into a thick carpet of green foliage. The leaves are small and round with a beautiful bright green coloration that can nicely offset any neutral toned substrate. High lighting and Co2 injection is necessary to keep this plant low growing. Vertical growing thin stalks are an indication of lack of lighting while yellowing leaves can mean nutrition deficiency. Thin leaves can also hint at a lack of Co2. This plant can grow quickly and require regular trimming when kept under proper conditions. This plant can grow submerged or emersed in dry start aquariums and Wabi Kusa. Because this plant is small with tiny roots, it can prove difficult to keep planted into the substrate. In this case, dry start can help by allowing time for the roots to anchor into the substrate before flooding the tank. Family Name: Phrymaceae Origin: New Zealand Height: 1-2” pH: 6-7.5 Care: Medium to Difficult Light: Medium to High Co2: Required Propagation: Cut new growth along with roots Growth rate: Moderate to Fast | Anubias Nana is one of the most popular aquatic plants in the hobby. If you're new to planted tanks and want to try growing for the first time, this is a good one to start with. It's an extremely easy plant to grow and can survive a wide range of water parameters. Like other Anubias plants, it can grow in both aquariums and terrariums either submerged or emersed.
Anubias Nana is a flowering plant that grows best when the rhizome is attached to a hard surface such as wood or stones. They have low to medium light requirements and can benefit from regular fertilization. CO2 is not necessary but can promote faster growth and more robust leaves. Since its a slow grower, the leaves are susceptible to algae growth if placed under high lighting.
Propagation is easy and straightforward; simply cut or pull apart rhizomes to be replanted.
Notes:
| Anubias nana gold is one of the beautiful variants of Anubias with yellow and green leaves. The special gold hue in the leaves makes it unique and brings amazing contrast with the green plants in the tank. Anubias is a great plant for beginners as it is easy to care for and maintain. If you are looking for a plant that can fill up the gaps and holes and is perfect for aquascaping, Anubias nana gold will be the right choice. Anubias belongs to the Araceae family.

Appearance: Anubias nana gold features yellow or lime-green leaves with a golden hue that makes it different from other variants of Anubias and aquarium plants. This unusual colour makes it easily distinguishable in the tank. Like other Anubias species, it is a slow-growing hardy plant. It can be used as a middle ground plant where it can get low to medium lighting. However, the plants thrive the best when attached to rockwork or driftwood. Due to the specific features, dwarf habit and typical leaves colour, Anubias is often planted in terrariums and vivariums other than aquariums. Hard/soft Plant: It is a hardy plant that can thrive well under moderate light, carbon dioxide and nutrient supplementation. Ideal water temperature: The ideal temperature for the growth of Anubias nana gold ranges from 20 to 28 degrees Celsius. With the right temperature, the plant shows good growth and leaves exhibit good colours. Lighting and other requirements: Low to moderate light is suitable for the proper growth of Anubias nana gold. Under the excessive light condition, algae growth on the leaves is observed that make the plant look unattractive. Carbon dioxide is not a prerequisite for Anubias nana gold, but supplementing it will ensure faster growth and robust leaves. You can place this plant in the substrate, but its rhizomes must not be buried as they will rot and recede. Ideal pH level: The ideal pH for Anubias nana gold is 5.5 to 7. However, being an easily adjustable plant, it can survive if there is a minor fluctuation in pH as well. Do you know: Anubias nana gold is a perfect aquarium plant for aquascaping that you can use to fill gaps and holes in an aquascape layout. It is because this plant doesn’t require to be planted directly in the substrate; instead, you can attach it to the driftwood or woodwork that gives great results. Propagation is done by simply cutting or pulling apart the rhizomes that you want to reattach. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
