It is the second type of diver that I have, it has a very cool color with bright flashes in shades like bluish that make it very beautiful.
At the moment the leaves are small but as I think it comes from emerged culture it will be adapting to the aquarium. I have been able to divide it into three small plants without any problem. I hope it can flourish under the aquarium… I think I have made a good purchase.
