Info

Note from StefanK:

A species of seagrass about 20cm high that grows in the Mediterranean on sandy soils at depths of up to 3m.
It also copes very well with tropical temperatures and grows very quickly.
I think I will be able to give out the first cuttings in a few months.

And dear Jannes helped with the ID of the algae: probably Zostera noltii, size and origin are right.

There are around twelve species worldwide, all of which only occur in the oceans.
They usually grow in large quantities, as seagrass meadows.
Seagrasses are grass-like, submerged (submerged) marine plants.
They root in the seabed and have a rhizome.
They have linear leaves.

Ist doch nich so gut für tropische Aquarien geeignet, wie ich zuerst gedacht habe. Erst wächst sie ein par Monate sehr gut und geht dan plötzlich ein. (bei jedem versuch das selbe)
Ich vermute sie verträgt auf dauer die Temperaturen nicht.
