Najas guadalupensis (Guppy Grass)
Najas guadalupensis, commonly known as Guppy Grass, is a fast-growing, undemanding aquatic plant perfect for both beginner and advanced aquarists. Its fine, feathery leaves create dense, bushy growth that provides excellent cover and hiding spots for fry, shrimp, and small fish.
This plant thrives in a wide range of conditions, making it highly adaptable for community tanks, breeding setups, and natural aquascapes. Guppy Grass also improves water quality by absorbing excess nutrients, reducing algae growth, and oxygenating the aquarium.
