How your order gets to you
- I health-check and hand-pack every order myself. Fish and shrimp go in oxygen breather bags, and everything is insulated with heat or cold packs to suit the weather.
- Livestock and plants go out by express post on a Monday, and most orders arrive in 1 to 3 business days.
- If the weather is too hot or too cold, I will let you know and hold your order until it is safe to send.
- If anything arrives dead, take a photo in the bag and email me within 24 hours. I will refund or replace it.
- When your order arrives, my acclimation guide walks you through settling them in.
Vallisneria spiralis 'Tiger'
Tiger Vallisneria has long, ribbon-like leaves covered in reddish-brown stripes and spots, which really stand out under stronger lighting. It makes a lovely background plant, swaying gently in the current and spreading by runners to fill in over time. It is hardy, does not need CO2, and suits beginners and experienced keepers alike.
Care at a glance
- Placement: Background
- Height: 30 to 60cm
- Lighting: Low to high
- CO2: Not required
- Temperature: 18 to 28°C
Planting tips
- Separate and plant individually, keeping the crown just above the substrate.
- Root tabs help it settle in faster.
- Avoid glutaraldehyde-based liquid carbon, as vals can be sensitive to it.
- A little leaf melt while adjusting is normal; trim it off and new growth will follow.
