These submerged pond plants break down fish waste and left over nutrients in your pond, controlling algae growth.

Anacharis also make an ideal spot for breeding fish, as they provide a great place for little fish to hide from predators. Anacharis will grow in water 6" inches to 4' feet deep or in full sun to partial shade. Anacharis is a vary fast grower feeding primarily through its leaves. It is not necessary that it be planted since soil is not needed for their survival. It can root in the pond bottom or float freely. This hardy submerged pond plant will survive very low temperatures.
