Jungle Val (Valisneria americana) is a classic, no-fuss background plant perfect for natural, low-tech aquariums. With long, ribbon-like leaves that can reach the surface and sway gently in the current, Jungle Val creates a lush, wild riverbed look while naturally filtering your water.

Had quite the wait for my plants to arrive. 3 weeks. They printed the label 5 days before USPS got the plants. And 4 days after I ordered. With a couple of exceptions they were pretty raggedy as well. Got them planted. The corkscrew vals seem to be doing the best. The rest I am watching. Love watching Father Fish. I've been keeping fish for 35 years. I agree with 90% of his methods. That's why I gave it a try and ordered a few plants to test the waters. Unless these plants make a serious comeback I don't think I'll order anything else. The whole experience after I paid is not what I expected.

First plants didn’t come in very well, but they replaced them super quick, and the replacement plants look great!
