The plant has gained notoriety thanks to the late Takashi Amano and his aquarium works from the 90s.
Blyxa has a distinct grass-like appearance that moves easily in the circulating aquarium water creating a sense of dynamicity in comparison to other more robust plants. A wonderful foreground to midground plant in Tropica's Medium Category. The plant can grow from 10 - 20+ cm
