I received roughly half a cup of guppy grass in my order, all of it healthy with zero melt. Everything was well packaged and exactly as described. I will absolutely order again.
Ordered 2 and Daku did not disappoint! Great quality guppy grass. I will be ordering more plants!
Another one of the plants i purchased in my order, very pleased. Guppy grass came in a decent handful, very healthy and vibrant. Floats well around the surface/ top of my tank. Provides a fun surface area for my neocardina shrimp to explore and scavenge on. This plant works perfect for blocking the line of sight and providing hiding in the higher up levels of the tank! 👍🏽👍🏽
Everything arrived quickly and all in great co edition. Love them.
Perfect!
