Blyxa Aubertii

Blyxa aubertii is a lovely aquatic plant and adds a spikey upright element in a planted aquarium. The long slender leaves of Blyxa auberti flow in the current of your planted aquarium In strong light, the plant has a bronze tinge to the leaves. In more modest lighting the leaves are a translucent green. This is the taller of the two commercially available Blyxa sp. This plant does best in a well-tended high light CO2 suplemented tank with a nutritious substrate. It does not tolerate abuse from boisterous fish. This is an obligate aquatic, meaning that it cannot grow out of the water.
