How to Grow Water Spangles
Place the plants gently on the water surface with leaves facing upward. Avoid constant splashing or strong surface turbulence that repeatedly submerges the leaves. Thin excess growth as needed so plants below still receive light.
Water Spangles for Shrimp
The hanging roots trap fine particles and biofilm, giving shrimp and shrimplets extra grazing zones. They work especially well in breeding setups and calm planted tanks.
