Vallisneria tortifolia
Common Name Twisted vallis Origin tropical and sub-tropical regions Substrate Plain gravel Fertilizers some fertilizing is required Lighting medium, high is better Threats Apple snails Water soft, hard
Vallisneria tortifolia is a dwarf species with tightly coiled leaves. It is a bit more delicate compared with other vallisneria species and also needs good lighting, Vallisneria tortifolia is good choice for small tropical aquarium. Because of its small size and bushy appearance it looks better as mid-ground plant rather than a background one. These plants propagate by sending out runners bearing daughter plants. The runners can be cut, and the daughter plants can be moved with care, if required. Because it doesn't need any special subtrate, co2 injection and isn't picky about water chemistry, makes it quite an easy plant to look after.
