๐ŸŒฟ Corkscrew Val โ€“ Twisting Midground Accent for Natural Aquariums

Corkscrew Val (Valisneria tortifolia) is a beautiful mid-height variety of Valisneria, known for its spiral-twisted leaves that add natural texture and motion to your aquascape. Unlike the towering Jungle Val, Corkscrew Val stays shorter, making it ideal for midground or background planting in small to medium tanks.

Fast-growing and self-propagating by runners, itโ€™s perfect for Father Fish tanks โ€” no COโ‚‚, no fertilizers, just soil and light.


๐Ÿ’š Why Choose Corkscrew Val?

โœ… Unique Spiral Leaves โ€“ Adds movement and texture
โœ… Mid-Sized Growth โ€“ Perfect for 10โ€“30 gallon tanks
โœ… No Bottled Fertilizers Needed โ€“ Grows strong in soil alone
โœ… Great for Oxygenation โ€“ Helps balance your tank naturally
โœ… Spreads by Runners โ€“ Builds dense, living plant beds over time
โœ… Shrimp & Fry Safe โ€“ Offers soft cover and biofilm


๐Ÿชด Plant Care Tips:

Lighting: Low to moderate
COโ‚‚: Not required
Substrate: Deep soil with sand cap
Placement: Midground or back corner
Growth Rate: Fast
Tank Size: 10 gallons and up

Plant in groups for a natural, flowing look โ€” itโ€™ll fill in quickly on its own.


๐ŸŒฟ Father Fish Tip:

โ€œItโ€™s the same tough Val DNA โ€” just with a twist. Let it spread and enjoy the motion.โ€

Plant did not do well

Plant did not do well, died back quite a bit. Maybe it will make it.

Hi Nancy,

Thank you for letting us know about your Corkscrew Val. Iโ€™m sorry it isnโ€™t doing well โ€” thatโ€™s never the experience we want for you.

Weโ€™d like to send a replacement plant at no cost to ensure you have a healthy start. Could you please confirm your current shipping address so we can arrange the reshipment right away?

In the meantime, Corkscrew Val sometimes melts back after shipping before regrowing from the roots. If the base still looks firm and white, you might see new shoots in the next couple of weeks.

Either way, weโ€™ll make sure you have a thriving plant to enjoy.

Best,
Father Fish

I wish I started with this plant before I planted the jungle val which is growing like gang busters

I wish I started with this plant before I planted the jungle val which is growing like gang busters. I like the size and looks of the cork screw and hope it also takes off like gang busters. Looks good in my 20 high!
