Guppy Grass (Najas guadalupensis)Transform your aquarium with the lush, effortless beauty of Guppy Grass, also known as Najas guadalupensis or common water nymph—a fast-growing aquatic plant native to North, Central, and South America.
This beginner-friendly species is a favorite among aquarists for its delicate, grass-like appearance with fine, bright green leaves branching in whorls along slender stems, creating a natural, bushy hideaway.
Key Features:
- Striking Appearance: Features narrow, fragile leaves in vibrant green, resembling fine grass blades for a soft, feathery texture that adds natural movement and depth.
- Growth Habit: Rapidly growing stem plant that can reach 30-90 cm (12-36 inches) or more; perfect as a floating mass or planted in midground/background. Grows densely for excellent coverage.
- Care Level: Very Easy – Thrives in low to high lighting (low light preferred to avoid algae), no CO2 required, and minimal nutrients. Temperature: 18-30°C (64-86°F); pH: 6.0-8.0. Can be floated, weighted, or rooted.
- Benefits: Ideal hiding spots for fry, shrimp, and small fish; oxygenates water, absorbs nitrates/ammonia/toxins to improve water quality and control algae.
- Propagation: Extremely easy – fragments easily; simply trim pieces and replant or let float to root and grow new plants.
