Comparison
Above working range

Measured underwater with an Apogee MQ-510at this plant’s position. Working ranges are practical reference figures, not biological thresholds. The full survey sets out how the number was taken and what it does not establish.

Growth habit

Fine feathered stem; fast, upright, forms a soft vertical texture.

Placement

Front right since 18 September 2026, behind the Monte Carlo and in front of the Hygrophila 'Kompakt': a low, fine-textured group between the carpet and the midground. It was originally planted in the back-left corner.

Coloration notes

Light green. Value is textural rather than chromatic.

General to the species. What this plant has actually done in this aquarium is recorded under observations.

Trimming notes

Frequent topping; it grows fast and shades what sits behind it.

Current observations

Nothing recorded specific to this plant in this aquarium yet. The scape is still growing in; observations are added when there is something specific to report rather than to fill the section.

Photographs

Photograph pending. Planned: a current photograph at matched camera settings, repeated at intervals so color can be compared across time rather than described.
