Guppy Grass (Najas guadalupensis)

Guppy Grass (Najas guadalupensis) – Easy Fast-Growing Aquarium Plant

Guppy Grass is a fast-growing and easy-care aquarium plant that forms dense masses of fine green foliage. It is an excellent choice for guppy tanks, shrimp tanks, breeding setups and low-tech aquariums.

Its dense growth provides natural cover for fry and baby shrimp, giving them somewhere to hide from larger tank mates while also creating additional grazing surfaces for shrimp and small fish.

Guppy Grass is extremely versatile and can be left floating or planted into the substrate. Once established, it grows quickly and can be regularly trimmed to maintain the desired size.
