🌿 Milfoil – Wispy & Flowing Background Plant
Description:
Milfoil (Myriophyllum sp.) is a long, easy-to-care-for background plant with a delicate, wispy appearance. While similar in look to Ambulia, Milfoil grows in flowing, airy stems rather than dense, bushy clumps, giving your aquascape a graceful and natural look.
This plant is exceptionally beginner-friendly and thrives in a wide range of freshwater conditions. It propagates easily by planting the stems, making it simple to expand your planting or share with friends. Milfoil is particularly wonderful in shrimp tanks, offering baby shrimp plenty of surface area to graze on and hide from fish, and its dense, flowing growth provides excellent shelter for fish fry, helps encourage spawning and ensures survival of fry.
