The Plant
Dwarf baby tears (Hemianthus callitrichoides) is a green carpet plant from Central America with tiny leaves. It is a medium-care plant: it needs stable water and injected CO2. With strong light and fertilizer it spreads quickly across the front of the tank, and the leaves often pearl. You get one pot.
Plant Care
Type: Carpet · Origin: Central America · Height: Up to 1–2 in · Light: High · CO2: Required · Temp: 75–82°F · pH: 6.5–7.6
Planting Tips
Plant it across the foreground of a tank of 10 gallons or more. Keep the water stable and run CO2, strong light and fertilizer; it will not carpet well without them.
Why Shrimp Keepers Like It
It makes great shelter for shrimp and small bottom feeders, and a dense patch gives shrimplets somewhere to hide while the adults graze the leaves.
