Giant Jungle Val (Vallisneria Americana)

Giant Jungle Val (Vallisneria americana) throws up long, ribbon-like leaves that reach the surface and bend along it, creating a swaying green curtain reminiscent of a natural riverbed. It spreads aggressively by runners, quickly filling the back of a tank into a dense forest that fish love to weave through. Rooted in substrate and undemanding, it's one of the easiest ways to build height in a large aquarium.
