The cosmopolitan Egeria densa is a good plant for beginners, and its
rapid growth helps create a balance in the aquarium from the start.
Stems grows fast to 40-100 cm and becomes 2-4 cm wide. Egeria helps
preventing algae because it absorbs a great number of nutrients from the
water. The plant secretes antibiotic substances which can help prevent
blue-green algae (a type of bacteria). The growth rate depends largely
on the amount of light and nutrition available. Growth does not stop in
unfavourable conditions, but the plant turns light in colour and the
tendrils grow thin.
