Alan Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 It is not an aquatic, but will survive underwater for a period of time. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 It is often sold as an aquatic plant but isn't really and will not last in the tank. Looks good in the meantime though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishboi Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 my only lasted 2 month and within that time very minimal growth stayed green right to the end. with my the roots rotted away and the leafs started to surface one by one. pet shops should really inform ppl about these thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
