Anacharis
Purchased two bunches for my aquarium. This is my first time using live plants, always had fake ones. I put them in the tank yesterday and so far they seem to be doing ok. PetZone did a good job packing these guys,. They looked great when I received them. Will definitely us PetZone again.
