Good tank mates
A hardy live plant suited to freshwater community tanks with fish, shrimp, and snails, providing cover and helping compete against algae. Its compact, bushy form works well as a midground plant and is generally left alone except by determined plant-eaters like some large cichlids or goldfish. It pairs nicely with small schooling fish and shrimp that use the dense foliage for shelter.
Good to know
Hygrophila corymbosa 'Kompakt' is a cultivated dwarf form bred to stay short and bushy rather than growing tall and leggy like the standard variety.
Stock and individual temperament vary — call (814) 456-9445 for pairing advice before you buy.
