🌿 Banana Lily – A Versatile Stem Plant for Shelter and Cover
Banana Lily (Nymphoides spp.) is a striking stem plant that adds vertical interest to your aquarium while providing natural cover for your fish and shrimp. Its long, ribbon-like leaves can be trimmed to stay fully submerged or allowed to grow up to the surface, creating a leafy canopy. This makes shy or skittish fish feel secure, encouraging them to explore and interact with their environment—perfect for those fish that you want to watch but who have other plans!
As a species native to Australia, Banana Lily is perfect for Australian native or biotope aquariums, pairing beautifully with Blue Eyes, Rainbowfish, and Gudgeons. With correct lighting conditions or in outdoor ponds this plant will produce white almost fluffy flowers.
