Elodea Bunch (Not SA & NSW)

Elodea Bunch

General Description: One of the original, classic aquarium plants, Elodea is still very popular today. It has long, green stems with whorls of attractive leaves. Elodea helps to keep the water clean and can aid in algae control as the rapid growth of the elodea out-competes algae in the aquarium. This fast-growing plant can be trimmed and replanted and is recommended for stabilizing new aquariums.

Elodea is a great pond plant and is suitable for Goldfish and Turtle enclosures. It is safe for them to eat and can regrow. 

Some older leaves of elodea may be brown. The older leaves power the new growth and can be removed once the plant is established. Elodea can be trimmed if desired. Elodea may contain snails or eggs.

What is special about me? Elodea is a fantastic nutrient stripper and also oxygenates the water.
