    Good for use in a tank where you want to dim the light a bit in some parts... I use it for my BGK as they don't like the light all that much so I float it in an area above rocks so he can hide and it's a bit darker for him there...

    It's common name is Hornwort. It's called Floating grass by people who can't remember the name Hornwort.

    @Uda please be sure to remove all the dying leaves from your tank as this could decompose in your tank "NOT GOOD" also they don't like copper or algae remover, and they require a lot of fertilizer. Once My planted tank is up and running I will be getting rid of this stuff. They do filter out Nitrates and Ammonia very well though and they are pretty useful when breeding fish...
    This is what I know about them.

    And I don't know much, Yet... :embarrest:
