Potamogeton gayi (common name: Pondweed)
Overview: Native to South America and commonly called Pondweed, Potamogeton gayi is an undemanding aquatic plant, suitable for aquariums. Since it has characteristics similar to weed, frequent pruning is recommended and can be achieved by cutting off the top portions and planting them in the substrate. When planted in groups, Potamogeton gayi can be used as midground or background aquarium plants. When planted along with other contrasting plants with myriad hues of green, Potamogeton gayi works well as a foreground plant in larger aquariums.
