Dwarf Pennywort 'Japan'
This small delicate water pennywort is especially popular with aquascapers from Asia, where it is known under different names, e.g. "Hydrocotyle maritima" and Hydrocotyle sp. "Japan". During the last few years it has spread fast in the American aquarium hobby, too. It probably belongs to the Australian species Hydrocotyle tripartita. With its clover-shaped small light green leaves and its creeping stems, this water pennywort is really decorative. Moreover, it is a fast grower, can be used in manifold ways, and it is rather undemanding. Hydrocotyle cf. tripartita will show the best development under strong lighting and the injection of CO2. It grows more slowly in low-tech tanks, where it has slanting ascending stems.

Good Plants
I definitely like parts of this shop, and overall ordering from them was a good experience. The package arrived quickly, around three days sooner than expected, and all of the plants were unharmed. They were all a bit smaller than I thought they would be, but each pot contained multiple plants and the cups of java moss were good quality with generous portions. I ordered three rosette sword pots and got eight little plants all together which is great! The plants do have a bit of melting on the leaves, and a tiny bit of brown but I don't blame that on the seller since most of it appeared after they were in the tanks. I think I'll be ordering again and highly recommend this shop for nano tanks because of how many little plants you can get in each pot.
