About the Hygrophila Pinnatifida

Hygrophila pinnatifida is a unique and visually striking aquatic plant known for its deeply lobed, fern-like leaves and reddish-brown hues. It is popular among aquascapers for its ability to grow both submerged and emersed, as well as its ability to attach to hardscape elements like rocks and driftwood.

  1. Light requirements: This plant does best under moderate to high lighting. Higher light levels will encourage more compact growth and richer coloration, while lower light may result in leggier growth.

  2. Water parameters:

    • Temperature: Prefers a range of 68 to 82Β°F (20 to 28Β°C).
    • pH level: Thrives in slightly acidic to neutral conditions, with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5.
    • Hardness: Tolerates soft to moderately hard water.
  3. Substrate and placement: While Hygrophila pinnatifida can root in the substrate, it is often attached to rocks or driftwood, where it will spread naturally. If planted in the substrate, ensure the roots are anchored well for stability.

  4. Nutrients and CO2:

    • Fertilization: Regular fertilization with iron-rich nutrients will enhance its red and brown tones.
    • CO2 supplementation: Strongly recommended for optimal growth, deeper coloration, and more compact leaf structure.
  5. Pruning and maintenance: Regular trimming is beneficial to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. If left unchecked, it may grow tall and develop creeping runners, which can be trimmed and replanted as needed.

  6. Propagation: This plant propagates through side shoots and runners. Cuttings can be taken from healthy stems and replanted to encourage new growth.

  7. Special considerations: Hygrophila pinnatifida may experience some melting when first introduced to a new tank but typically recovers once adapted. Due to its ability to attach to hardscape, it is an excellent choice for creating layered, textured aquascapes.

With proper lighting, nutrients, and occasional pruning, Hygrophila pinnatifida can be an eye-catching addition to any aquascape, providing a mix of vibrant colors and intricate leaf shapes.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
