Benefits of guppy grass
* Guppy grass is a great plant to consume all excess nutrients in your tank. If you’re new to aquascaping, this may not sound like a benefit, but it is. Because guppy grass consumes the excess nutrients in a tank, it reduces and prevents algae growth, which is a problem that can plague many aquascapes.
* One benefit that we’ve briefly touched on is that guppy grass is something your fish will love too. Certain types of fish like goldfish, silver dollars, and cichlids will consume guppy grass. This is useful as its food for them and helps trim the plant back to maintain it in your tank. While some types of fish like to snack on guppy grass, others like to hide in it and swim around the many stalks of guppy grass. When it naturally occurs, fish often like to hide in the weeds of guppy grass to gain protection from predator.
* Guppy grass also has some added benefits that contribute to water quality in your tank and balance of nutrients and toxins. Guppy grass, like some other aquatic plants, produces oxygen that will benefit your entire tank; additionally, it removes materials like heavy metals, toxins, ammonia, and nitrates from the water as well.
