Aponogeton elongatus, the Queensland Lace Plant, is a rare and attractive Australian native aquatic plant with bright green, wavy leaves. This plant is fast growing and has the ability to tolerate a wide range of water parameters, making it a popular choice for both novice and experienced aquarists.

What sets Aponogeton elongatus apart from other Aponogeton species is its ability to grow in relatively cold water and low light conditions. While some Aponogeton species require high levels of light to thrive, the Queensland Lace Plant can still grow and develop its distinct appearance in less high-tech aquariums.

Under ideal conditions, the undulating leaves of Aponogeton elongatus can grow up to 60cm in length. This makes it a great choice for larger, deeper tanks - especially those with good flow. It is important to note that this plant requires a nutrient-rich substrate to thrive, and regular fertilisation is recommended.

Overall, Aponogeton elongatus is a beautiful addition to the aquarium, and its ability to adapt to various water parameters and lighting conditions make it a versatile choice.
