Arrived quickly and received a good portion. Plant is healthy and looks great in the new scape!!
Little bit of melting at the bottom of the plant not doing as well as my others but we’ll see
Very easy and versatile plant. Perfect for fry cover and any breeding project. Thanks Daku for another great plant shipment!!!
The Anacharis I received was in beautiful shape, all green and firm. I distributed between four tanks as floating plants. All the plants I’ve ordered from Daku came in good condition and are thriving.
These plants came in healthy, well packaged and with great root development. This is my first time with this plant and I love it. Great addition and creates almost like a kelp forest that is easy for the fish to swim through. Looks awesome.
