Description

Ball -shaped plant, with a maximum height of 20 cm. It requires low to medium lighting.

Cladophora is a common seaweed in freshwater aquariums. It is in the form of fine and branched filaments, with microscopic leaves along the rod. It can be green, brown or red, depending on the species. Cladophora can be beneficial in an aquarium because it provides oxygen and can serve as food for herbivorous fish. However, it can also spread quickly and become invasive if it is not controlled. It is important to maintain a balance in the aquarium by limiting the growth of the cladophora and ensuring that it does not disturb the habitat of other plants and animals.
