Recommended Lighting: Medium to high lighting
Recommended Temperature: 68-82Β°F (20-28Β°C)

Foreground, Midground, or Background?: Midground to background
Need CO2?: Beneficial for vibrant color and compact growth, but not absolutely necessary
Fun Fact: Proserpinaca palustris is known as "Mermaid Weed" due to its beautifully serrated, almost saw-like leaves. Under high light and CO2, the leaves develop a bright orange to red coloration, making it one of the most eye-catching stem plants in the aquarium hobby.
Appearance: This plant has finely toothed, feathery leaves that change shape and color depending on its growth conditions. In submerged form, the leaves can become deeply serrated and take on coppery-red hues in optimal lighting.
Habitat: Native to North and Central America, often found in shallow marshes, ponds, and slow-moving streams, both submerged and emersed.
Aquarium Use: Often used in the midground or background of planted aquariums for its unique texture and coloration. It provides excellent contrast when planted among green or broader-leaved plants.
Care: Requires stable water conditions, consistent lighting, and regular fertilization to thrive. It grows moderately fast and responds well to trimming, which encourages bushier growth.
Propagation: Easily propagated by cutting the stem and replanting the trimmed tops into the substrate.
Note: While Proserpinaca palustris is not difficult to grow, its best colors and growth form appear only under high light and with CO2 supplementation, making it a rewarding plant for more experienced aquascapers.
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.
