Tank Mates
Peaceful algae grazers that won't damage plant leaves and help maintain tank cleanliness
Small, non-destructive shrimp that add color and won't uproot or damage the plant
Gentle algae eaters that respect plants and help maintain water quality
Small, peaceful fish that won't disturb the plant and add movement to the midground
Excellent companion plant with similar slow growth rate and low-light tolerance
Compatible slow-growing plant that creates a natural-looking planted aquascape
Common Diseases
Leaf Melt
Leaves become translucent, mushy, and disintegrate; typically affects new growth first
Improve water circulation, reduce humidity around leaves, ensure stable water parameters, and remove affected leaves. Increase water changes and verify CO2 levels are not excessive
Nutrient Deficiency
Pale or yellowing leaves, stunted growth, loss of red coloration, and weak new growth
Dose all-in-one liquid fertilizer weekly, add macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), and ensure adequate lighting to support nutrient uptake
Algae Overgrowth
Green or brown algae coating on leaves, reduced light penetration, and plant vigor decline
Reduce lighting duration to 6-8 hours daily, increase water changes, add algae-eating shrimp or fish, and manually remove algae from leaves
Root Rot
Mushy rhizome, foul odor from substrate, leaf yellowing, and plant collapse
Improve substrate drainage, increase water circulation, reduce organic waste buildup, and consider replanting in fresh substrate if severe
