Vallisneria spiralis Red Bunch (straight red vallis)
Vallisneria spiralis "Red" is a hardy plant suitable for the beginner hobbyist. It makes little demands in the aquarium and can grow fast when conditions are optimal. It also looks the best and adapts the most out of all other Vallis - this is why it's the only species we sell in the vallis family. Once you see it, you'll know why.
Leaves are attractive, dark green/red when grown under optimum conditions. Great for beginners and up. All species of Vallisneria do not tolerate liquid carbon, therefore we do not recommend adding these plants to any tank using liquid carbon. Some hobbyists mistake this plant to have spiral leaves like the name might suggest but it's actually the opposite and has very straight leaves. The word 'spiralis' is the scientific name that refers to the flower stalk that corkscrews as it grows.
Can also be grown in African cichlid tanks (assuming the fish don't eat it). Please note Vallis consists of 2 plants per bunch that are approx 20-25cm in length.
Note: This plant does not come with the weight in the picture. As it is a true aquatic plant there are chances of snails or snail eggs. As we buy from European stock, pesticides are never used. Whilst we do our very best to remove any snails that we see, we wanted to make you aware that this is a possibility.
Lastly, all Vallis can be somewhat sensitive to new water parameters. In the event that your Vallis melts once submerged, it's down to the water conditions of your aquarium and this means the responsibility lies with you the customer, and not Aqua Essentials. We only ever send out perfect plants so please bear this in mind.
