Tropica Najas Guadalupensis, widely known as Guppy Grass, is an ideal choice for both novice and experienced aquarists looking for a versatile, fast-growing plant that excels at biological filtration and providing cover for delicate inhabitants. This 1-2-Grow tissue culture version offers the distinct advantage of being completely free from snails, algae, and harmful pesticides, ensuring maximum safety for sensitive shrimp and fish fry. While its rapid growth rate is a major benefit for nutrient control, users should be prepared for frequent trimming to maintain their desired aquascaping layout.

No, Najas Guadalupensis is very hardy and does not require CO2 injection to grow well.
Yes, it is excellent for outdoor ponds during warmer months, as it helps clarify water and shade inhabitants.
It outcompetes algae for nutrients, which helps reduce algae growth, but it is not a direct 'algae killer'.
The gel is a nutrient-rich agar. It is non-toxic, but you should wash it off before placing the plant in the tank to prevent bacterial blooms.
Simply cut any stem and replant it or leave it floating. Any broken piece will typically continue to grow.
Goldfish often find Guppy Grass tasty. It may serve as a supplemental food source for them.
Usually caused by low light or a lack of macro-nutrients. Increase lighting duration or add a comprehensive fertilizer.
This happens when the plant becomes too dense, blocking light to the bottom. Thin the clump out to allow light and flow to reach the inner leaves.
This is normal for Guppy Grass. Regular, heavy pruning is required to keep it from shading out other slower-growing plants.
When you receive your 1-2-Grow cup, rinse the gel media carefully under lukewarm water until it is fully removed. Once clean, you can separate the plant into smaller portions.
