Guppy Grass – Live Najas guadalupensis for Aquarium

🌿 Why Every Guppy Breeder Needs This Plant

Guppy Grass forms a dense, floating root mass that newborn fry instinctively swim into to hide from adult fish. This single feature transforms fry survival rates — from a typical 40–60% survival in bare tanks to near 90–100% in tanks with adequate Guppy Grass coverage.

Beyond fry shelter, the plant naturally cultivates infusoria and microorganisms in its root mass — free first food for fry that no commercial product can fully replicate. It simultaneously absorbs nitrates and ammonia from the water, reducing maintenance and improving overall tank health.

📋 Quick Plant Profile

✅ Key Benefits

• Fry survival: Dense shelter dramatically reduces fry predation — 90%+ survival typical.
• Free first food: Natural infusoria grows in the root mass — ideal for newborn fry.
• Water filtration: Absorbs nitrates, ammonia and phosphates — reduces water change frequency.
• Zero maintenance inputs: No CO2, no fertiliser, no substrate required.
• Self-multiplying: One purchase becomes a permanent, ever-growing supply for all your tanks.

🐟 Ideal For

• Guppy breeding tanks — the single most effective fry survival tool
• Betta breeding — reduces female stress, shelters free-swimming fry
• Shrimp tanks — grazing surface, shelter for molting and juvenile shrimp
• Community tanks — natural look, water quality improvement, fry protection
• Nano tanks — natural filtration in small low-tech setups
