Guppy Grass is an ideal plant for aquariums seeking a quick-growing, aesthetically pleasing addition that also helps maintain water quality. Whether you're looking to create a floating mat or a soft green carpet, it’s a great choice for fish and shrimp habitats.
Love this addition to our four tanks. Endless uses. Currently have suspended in Pea Puffer tank and we drop live bloodworms on them to keep them from sinking into the nooks of the stream rocks in the tank. Use it as background plants in our Guppy tank and also use it in our snail holding tank. Grows so quick you’ll only need to buy it once.
The grass i got was fine just very small quantity
Was a little disappointed. I ordered 4, 2 for me and 2 for my daughter and not much there.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback, I'm sorry your expectations were not met. Each portion of my homegrown Guppy Grass is 10 stems - I try to include extra in each portion too because it is a smaller stem plant.. luckily it grows fast, so I hope you both have tons of it by now! If you have any other issues in the future feel free to reach out via email - I'm always here to help!
Well unfortunately it got cold in missouri and postoffice delayed delivery so when I received them they were froze. Learned my lesson none made it. Not your fault
Hey Phyllis! I am sorry to hear that the box was delayed - please email me and so we can figure out a way to fix the issue for you!
Excellent condition upon arrival. So pleased
