Habe dieses seegras vor einer woche im refugium und im schaubecken gepflanzt, hat bald die blätter verloren und neue gebildet. bin mal gespannt was daraus wird, ist angeblich auch für weniger tiefe substrate (5-10cm) geeignet. benötigt reifen bodengrund, evtl mit schlammzusatz, auch eisendosierung bedenken.
