Here is what I've discovered with this plant. It came looking healthy, but it didn't have much roots. That is totally expected. The roots are highly fragile and my guess is during shipping they were destroyed. I really didn't see any. There was die off at first, but since the roots have established, this plant is doing amazing and unfurling new leaves daily. It seems to be a hardy plant that would take over a pond, but big enough so that it isn't a pain in an aquarium like duckweed. I am really happy on this purchase. Pretty soon I'll be able to pull some from this bowl and put it in the other I have downstairs. The betta fish loves it. The plant really adds a new element to the fish bowl. I attached a picture. After the intial die off, there was about 1/4 of what you see in the picture. The growth has exploded in the past week. I've had the plant for about a month.
I have a 50w halogen spotlight on it and do weekly water changes with tap treated with stress coat. Our water here is hard, north-central IL.
