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.
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.

Sadly the worst plants I've bought yet from aquarium co op.
Bought 7 or 8 dwarf saggitara. Usually the plants I have bought have been really great quality and have been grown emersed. I don't think this was the case for 6 of the ones I bought as they were completely yellowed and melted. The one that did survive really well was completely green and didn't experience any melting or yellowing. So probably was just due to shipping. I did notice that the one plant that did super good have these gray granule things with the roots while all the others did not. So that probably had a lot to do with it.
anyways, super sad. Usually my experience is 5/5, love the stickers they send with you, and the way they ship it with the heat packs and insulated bags. Just for whatever reason, the plants j got were pretty bad when I recieved them.
Planted all the roots of the ones that were completely yellowed and melted, so probably are going to melt completely for a time while they adjust, but hoping they bounce back. The one that arrived super healthy is doing great though!
The pictures below are how they arrived in the mail after getting them ready for planting. Ended up trimming the leaves on the really bad ones that were completely brown.

Awesome little plant
I ordered a couple of these for my 10 gallon Betta tank and MAN, These plants looked so healthy when they arrived. The root system was beautiful and I was able to take the two plants and break them out into FIVE different plantings!!! Two weeks later, they still look amazing and I can't wait for them to start sending offshoots up so I can take some for my 75 gallon tank.
