This is one of the most natural plants to place in an aquarium containing tropical fish. It's low maintenance, you simply need to plant a small bunch in one corner and it will quickly create a luscious jungle look in the aquarium. This classic aquarium plant will do well in wide and long tanks, which are also perfect for angelfish. Vallisneria prefers an intense light, however it will still grow even under low light, just at a slower rate.

There are a few different species of this plant available. Vallisneria Thin, is the most ideal live plant for tropical fish due to its luscious green straight leaves, which look just like tall blades of grass.  They grow quickly, and leaves can reach 20-30cm long.
