Detailed Information
Overview
Nymphoides hydrophylla ‘Taiwan’ (Nymphoides aquatica ‘Taiwan’, Dwarf Taiwan Lilly). One of our favorite plants! Highly recommended beautiful and easy plant that will grow in virtually any aquarium. A rare and unique dwarf lilly variety that exclusively produce abundant bright green underwater leaves that are small (1" max) rather than floating lilly pads.
A simply stunning plant with a unique look that is easy to care for and suitable for beginners to experts as well as anyone looking for a plant that'll do well with minimal effort and technology. Great for community tanks but especially appreciated by shrimp, bottom dwelling fish that like to rest on leaves such as Corydoras and Otocinclus.
