This is a smaller version of the popular Java Fern with a thinner leaf habit. Care is the same, but would be a great fit for smaller tanks.
This plant is extremely undemanding and will grow best tied to rock or wood. Light isn't an issue as this plant will grow well in both low lighting and high lighting tanks.
