Jungle val aquarium

Learn how to grow a Jungle Val (American Vallisneria), a popular and hardy aquatic plant. Find all the information you need to help this plant thrive.

Hi, My present setup had become boring to me. The plants are mainly slow growers. I missed the fast growers' vigour and colours. So, this time, I planned to go back to high light plants. For me, re-scaping starts always with selection of foreground plant because I like (like one of the forumer pointed out previously) vast foreground. I am considering the "Chendol Plant" Utricularia graminifolia, like this one (by Oliver Knott):

Giant Vallisneria

A beginner's guide to designing an exotic fish tank.

Ive had a 36 bowfront set up for about 4 years now and decided it was time to rescape it. It started out with large gravel substrate and I didn't really...

Vallisneria or most commonly known jungle val because of it’s jungle like growth.

Jungle val. Woah that's perfect!!! I want my tank to look like that!

All I use are easy plants. Anubias petite, java moss and narrow leaf java fern attached on driftwood. Those are actually low light plants but will also work in high light given the right conditions. In the background is Sagittaria subulata. Similar to jungle Val but with thinner leaves and also very easy plants. In front of the sag is rotala rotundifolia and again easy plant and last in the for ground is dwarf hair grass.
