The plant grows into a tight grassy mat that provides texture and contrast to aquarium landscapes. Elatine Gratioloides perfectly fits nano aquariums due to its small dimensions which provide decoration without taking up too much space.

The slow growth rate of Elatine Gratioloides makes aquarium maintenance straightforward. Elatine Gratioloides flourishes when provided with moderate to high lighting together with CO2 supplementation and nutrient-rich substrate. Elatine Gratioloides forms a dense vivid green groundcover that harmonizes effectively with both plant life and hard surfaces when properly maintained.
