Potted Plant – Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis
Bring a natural, grass-like texture to your aquarium with Lilaeopsis brasiliensis, a popular foreground plant often called “micro sword.” Its fine, bright green blades create the effect of a lush underwater lawn, making it an excellent choice for aquascapers seeking a clean, minimalist foreground.
