Glossostigma (Glossostigma elatinoides) is a popular carpeting plant in aquascaping, known for its small, bright green leaves and fast-spreading growth. It is often used to create lush, low-growing carpets in high-tech planted tanks.
Light requirements: Requires high-intensity lighting to maintain its compact, creeping growth. Insufficient light can cause it to grow vertically instead of spreading across the substrate.
Water parameters:
Substrate and placement: A nutrient-rich substrate is essential for proper growth, as this plant is a heavy root feeder. Fine-grain substrate, such as aqua soil, helps anchor the delicate roots and supports better carpet formation.
Nutrients and CO2:
Pruning and maintenance: Regular trimming is necessary to prevent the lower layers from being shaded and dying off. Frequent trimming also encourages horizontal spreading and helps maintain an even carpet.
Propagation: Glossostigma propagates through runners. As it spreads, new shoots emerge from the main plant, creating a dense carpet. When replanting, plant small clusters separately to encourage even spreading.
Special considerations: This plant is highly sensitive to algae, especially in the early stages of growth. Maintaining good water circulation, stable CO2 levels, and a proper nutrient balance can prevent algae issues.
With high lighting, CO2 supplementation, and regular trimming, Glossostigma can create a vibrant, dense carpet that enhances the natural beauty of any aquascape.
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) Iβve 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.

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.
