Joe Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I don't think so. It inhabits wetland areas but I don't think it grows submerged. It belongs to the family Cyperaceae, of which Cyperus sp. are a member of. Cyperus helferi is suitable for the aquarium and can be grown completely submerged with great success. I've had it before and it is a gorgeous plant! Cyperus alternifolius is also suitable, but it needs a shallow tank as grows emersed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
