Dwarf chain sword or pygmy chain sword is one of the easiest carpeting plants. It grows to about 4 inches tall and has a grassy appearance. It thrives in medium lighting with lots of nutrients in the substrate and will fill in pretty quickly once it gets established.
We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge
We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.
How We Grow and Store Our Plants
We store all of our plants in aquariums with plenty of light and fertilizer to start converting their leaves. This picture is from our warehouse. Not all vendors store their plants in water; many store them out of water in bags straight from the farms. This is more time without light and doesn't give them a head start in growing underwater leaves.
This plant arrived quickly and was very healthy. They were also very bushy, and while I bought a three plants, I was able to separate them into six or seven. I planted them directly in the foreground, and it has been 21 days and not only are they growing taller, they have developed lots of Runners and are already starting the carpeting process. Now keep in mind for potential buyers, I have a cycled tank and I do use Liquid Fertilizer and I add root tabs every month or so. I refreshed my root tabs 2 days ago and I have three new runners and the other new runners with sprouts the grew at least a quarter of an inch in two days. I know I need to be patient but now I want to buy a couple more to expedite the process!

Excellent addition
Plant arrived quickly and very healthy. It has been in my tank about a month now and has flourished. I now have 4 runners and a total of nine plants. This was an excellent addition to my setup.

excellent!
These were quickly delivered and were perfectly packed. Very healthy and already sending little “swordlings” out in just a few days. I plan to get more for my 300 as the ones that arrived for my 125 are perfect. A+

Excellent Foreground Plant - love the bright green color
Order 3 of these to fill out a foreground space. Under good lighting, they look almost neon green, love the contrast with the other darker green plants.

I usually don't do this
I generally don't review products, but I am driven by the high quality and flawless shipping I have experienced with Aquarium co-op products. I have bought plants from multiple sources more than once and no one has surpassed the co-op's consistent quality, the plants arrive looking great and once acclimatized flourish. My Thanks to the Crew!

Good not Good
I purchased these plants because I had them in the past. Recently the plants were delivered in so-so conditions that they either melted or died. My order of 6 and 2 didn't make it. The other 4 still had a few green leaves so I'm hoping they'll survive. I was told that even though they melted, it can come back, so that's what I'm hoping until I got an email saying that I can reply with my concerns here.
