The Plant
Corkscrew val (Vallisneria torta) is a hardy, undemanding plant from Central and South America with long, curly, bright green leaves. It gets tall, so it belongs in the background. Most arrive 6 to 12 inches tall with 3 to 5 roots.
Plant Care
Type: Rooted · Origin: Central and South America · Height: Up to 20 in · Light: Moderate · CO2: Not required · Temp: 72–82°F · pH: 6.5–7.6
Planting Tips
Plant it along the back of a tank of 10 gallons or more and let it grow up toward the surface.
Why Shrimp Keepers Like It
The tall curly leaves make shelter for smaller fish and climbing room for shrimp. AquaticMotiv grows its plants under strong light with injected CO2 and weekly liquid fertilizer, and sends them free of algae and pest snails, so you don't bring hitchhikers into a shrimp tank.
