This tiny leaved attractive plant is sensitive to water fluctuations and chemicals, often resulting in a loss of leaves after transport. The plant prefers softer water but will do well in hard water if additional co2 is added. Regular liquid fertilisation and/or a good nutrient rich substrate is required. Provide plenty of light and moderate water movement to prevent debris build-up.
Syn: Mayaca vandellii
