Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo' is a carpeting plant which is typically used by aquarists to achieve lush foreground cover. It is a low-growing plant with bright green, rounded leaves. It will creep laterally along the substrate as it grows along and can also be used overhanging on decor or rocks. Monte Carlo does not require much beyond medium to higher lighting and fertilizer to thrive. Once it takes off, it will fill in nicely to form a soft carpet for shrimp and bottom dwellers to enjoy.
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.
Arrived dead and wilted I tried to put what little I had in the tank anyways and it hasn’t turned around at all

Not normal co-op quality
My Monte Carlo came in 80% dead (I'm guessing it was the last of their stock). However, I don't appreciate waiting 7 days for my order just for the plant to be beyond saving. I could grab one locally.. But I like Aquarium Co-op so I figured why not. It's worth mentioning, everything else in my order was completely healthy (4 other plants)

Little worried 😟
We got one of these as we have read they are great ground cover. It looked healthy just really small, and compared to the other plants the roots were tiny, but we have faith!

Ok I guess
Dropped 2 of these in my 90 gallon heavily planted tank for about a week. 20 nitrate, they came in nicely green, but turned brown and never recovered. I Use root tabs and liquid fertilizer.

Completely Died Off, Good Customer Service
I ordered two of these, and unfortunately they completely died. I expected them to melt back, but they never came back from it. Easy green and root tabs didn't seem to help unfortunately.
Lots of factors can influence this though, and you may have a better experience. However I wouldn't buy these again, I would buy an already immersed plant from another store.
Update: Even though the plants arrived alive, customer service contacted me and offered me a full refund or replacement. That's definitely not something you'll get at every fish shop.
