Shipping was fast plant quality was great but not doing well in my tank. If i did it again i would tie it all down to my driftwood with rubber bands. It’s melted all over the tank and made a mess.
I have 16 tanks, but only one with süsswassertang in it, and I have to admit that I love it the most. It's such a wonderful display of vibrant greens, especially on a black substrate. The shrimp love it, everybody loves it! I ordered it four months ago. Why am I leaving a review now? Because I'm back to get more!
A very healthy portion of subwassertang. Ive been hearing daku talk about subwassertang on youtube so thought i would give it a try.
A really lovely and generous portion! It was enough for me to get two hefty 3x3 meshes started. I can't wait for this to take over my foreground!
Green and vibrant a good amount to start any project👍🏾
