About the Round-Leaved Lindernia

Plant Name: Round-Leaved Lindernia (Lindernia rotundifolia)

Care Level: Easy

Recommended Substrate: Nutrient-rich substrate, aquarium soil, or sand/gravel supplemented with root tabs

Recommended Lighting: Low to moderate lighting

Recommended Temperature: 68-82°F (20-28°C)

Max Plant Size: Up to 8-16 inches (20-40 cm) in height

Foreground, Midground, or Background?: Midground to Background

Need CO2?: Not required, but beneficial for faster and denser growth

Fun Fact: Round-Leaved Lindernia gets its name from its distinctive rounded leaves, which grow in opposite pairs along the stem. It is an adaptable stem plant that can grow both submerged and emersed, making it a great choice for beginners and low-tech planted aquariums.

Appearance: Round-Leaved Lindernia produces small, rounded to oval, bright green leaves along slender upright stems. Some cultivated forms may also develop attractive pale or cream-colored leaf markings.

Aquarium Use: Excellent for creating bright green groups in the midground or background. Regular trimming encourages branching and allows the plant to develop into a compact, bushy cluster.

Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings. Simply trim a healthy section and replant it directly into the substrate, where it will develop roots and continue growing.

Note: Round-Leaved Lindernia is relatively undemanding and adapts to a wide range of aquarium conditions. Regular trimming and consistent nutrients help prevent thin, leggy growth and encourage a fuller appearance.

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.
