Care Tips: Tonina Fluviatilis is a striking and rare aquarium plant known for its vibrant green stems and delicate, needle-like leaves. It requires high lighting and thrives in slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 5.5–7.0). The plant's natural habitat in the Amazon River Basin influences its need for very clean water with high oxygenation, making it an ideal choice for high-tech aquariums with CO2 supplementation. Tonina Fluviatilis is a moderately fast-growing plant that can reach 30–50 cm in height, making it suitable for the midground to background of the aquarium. It benefits from nutrient-rich substrate and regular dosing of fertilizers to support its health and vibrant coloration. This plant may require more frequent pruning to keep its shape and prevent overgrowth in smaller tanks. Due to its preference for slightly softer, acidic water, it may not do well in harder or alkaline water unless special care is taken to adjust the conditions. It is a beautiful and unique addition to aquascapes, providing contrast and a lush, textured appearance.
