Vallisneria

Tall background plant Great cover for fish Easy to grow Vallisneria (also known as "val" or "straight vallisneria") has been a popular choice in the hobby because of its ease of care and long, grass-like appearance. Its hardiness makes it great for goldfish, African cichlid, and community tanks. Vallisneria grows very tall in an aquarium and can drape over the top to make fish and fry feel secure. Once well-established, val spreads quickly by sending out baby plants via runners where you can get a new shoot as soon as every 3 days.  Scientific Name: Vallisneria spiralis Native To: Europe, Africa, Asia Skill Level: Easy Placement: Background Recommended Light: Medium Light 20-35 PAR (click to see our PAR chart) CO2 Requirement: None Preferred Fertilizer: Easy Green liquid fertilizer and Easy Root Tabs Propagation: Spreads via runners across the ground ***Being a natural product, sizes can vary from what is shown.*** How to Plant Vallisneria in Aquarium 1.
