Overview: Native to South America, it grows in swamps and wetlands and is extensively used as an aquarium plant worldwide. This versatile aquatic plant can be blended perfectly in Dutch as well as Japanese aquascapes, both as a trimmed hedge and as a midground plant. It’s fast yet controlled growth makes it an ideal choice for aquarists. It’s fairly undemanding in nature, and thrives under added Co2 and iron supplementation.
Appearance: It is characterized by it’s delicate spiky foliage that’s light green in color. The hint of silver in the leaves compliments other green plants in the fish tank. They grow approximately between 12 to 18 inches and preferred in medium and large aquariums. It is an indicator of iron deficiencies in the tank, by changing hues.
Hard/Soft plant: Soft plant
Idea water temperature conditions: Mayaca Fluviatilis grows well under tropical temperatures between 23 and 28 degree Celsius. Lighting conditions: This aquarium plant demands bright lighting conditions for optimum growth. It also grows when exposed to moderate lighting but exhibits slower growth rate.
Ideal pH conditions: Mayaca Fluviatilis tolerates pH levels between 5 and 7 and the recommended water hardness for it’s survival is between 35.71 and 250 ppm.
Functions and uses:
1) Due to the moderate height of Mayaca Fluviatilis, it is perfect as a midground plant as they will probably not grow higher than background plants.
2) They serve as great indicators of nutrient levels in the water by losing it’s color when the nutrients exhaust.
Did you know?
Mayaca Fluviatilis provides excellent foil to red plants. Due to it’s prolific branching and pearling properties, Mayaca Fluviatilis grows with vigour but in a much-controlled manner. And this unique property makes it a highly popular aquatic plant species among aquarists.
Ordered few plants from Bunnycart. I must say that I was a bit skeptical at first, at the fact of live plants and live fish being sold online and the quality of them. But I was pretty impressed with the condition of the live plants that arrived and the packaging as well. Java Moss was provided in a real good quantity as well. Service too was prompt. Will surely come back for more.

I recently discovered this website. Initially i was surprised to see such a service in India. I was skeptical to order but gave it a try. But to my surprise this is one of the most genuine website i have ever encountered when it comes to buying pets online. As advertised the fishes are delivered promptly. The best thing is they call you beforehand to inform you that you would be at your residence to receive your little precious pets.
I have already ordered 3 times from them because of the quality. Fishes delivered are very healthy and active. When it comes to aquatic plants here you can get value for money. Plants are very cheap and good quality. What more can you ask for when you have Bunnycart :) . Thank you guys for amazing work. Please add more species at more affordable price. Thank you again :)

My first order was with some trepidation as all the CartKart websites that "got inspired by"/copied the name from FlipKart seem to be and have been frauds/disappointments.
Not so BunnyCart! This is, by now, my most favoured source for aquarium plants!
They have a pretty decent collection (okay-ish, actually),
* very competitive pricing,
* plants come in great condition (some don't survive but that is life!),
* the customer care responds unexpectedly fast and
* the delivery timing is pretty reasonable. My experience with their preferred DelhiVery is good but sometimes, like life, they mess up and the plants suffer. (Order 54626)
Many have given bad review to the whole business on that coin sized Riccia! Come on people, be sensible. Review the product page not the whole site, here, for crying out loud!
BunnyCart, increase your plants' inventory and you will be the market leader, I promise!
Love,
Ra.
