Elodea Naja is a bushy, whorled-leaf submerged aquatic plant similar in growth habit to Anacharis (Elodea/Egeria), used as an easy background or midground filler and a favorite for oxygenating and providing cover in community and fry tanks. Skill Level Easy CO2 Not Required Requires Aqua Soil Not required, but recommended Type Stem (submerged aquatic — not farm-grown emersed, see Other) Max Height 8-20" Placement Midground to background Light Level Low to Medium (approx. 20-50 PAR) Origin Americas (species identity uncertain — see flag) Other Flag: this listing arrived with no prior content, and "Elodea Naja" doesn't cleanly match a standard species name — it may be a naming mix of Elodea/Egeria and the unrelated genus Najas. Content written generically based on the Anacharis/Elodea growth habit; flagged for Henry to confirm the exact species via photo. Note: unlike most stem plants in this catalog, this plant is always grown fully submerged rather than harvested emersed, so the standard appearance-transition note doesn't apply — consistent with how Anacharis is handled. Care & Planting: Plant stems into substrate or leave loose/floating — it will root readily either way. Propagates easily by cutting and replanting stem sections.
