Easy to grow plant. Spreads by runners. Grows very tall in an aquarium and can drape over the top to make fish feel secure. When it's well established you can get a new shoot as soon as every 3 days. Great for a community tank but also often used in Goldfish and African Cichlid tanks. I've written an article about Vallisneria as I love it so much! Vallisneria the One Plant Wonder

Live Arrival Guarantee
We guarantee our live products will arrive alive. We ask that you do your part and minimize the amount of time our packages sit out in the elements. It can also be a good idea to avoid ordering live items during extreme temperatures. This would be when night time temps are below 35 and over 80 degrees during the day. Now these temps are not for sure death, it's just what makes it easiest for all of us during shipping.
When temperatures are cold we will use heat packs and extreme cold styrofoam liners. Shipping live goods is difficult as our warehouse could be 70 degrees and your home could be snowing, and all the stops in between. We do our best and will make it right for you and may request to try again at a different time. During heat waves, it's best to avoid ordering live goods as ice packs etc don't do enough to mitigate it.
30 Day Return Policy
Our goal is to provide a fair way to satisfy our customers and not lose money while doing it. We make every effort to fully disclose how our products work and what is to be expected. A damaged product during shipping is an automatic replacement from us. When it comes to a difference of opinion such as: "My fish doesn’t like this food." That we don’t refund for. However, if you decide the light you bought is a bit too green for your liking, provided it is in the original box, within 30 days and purchased from us, we will refund it at your cost of shipping.
If you would like to return a product, start the process by emailing us at shipping@aquariumcoop.com This allows us to see if there is something we can do before returning the product such as a feature you didn’t know about or send you a return label. We don’t require an RMA number, but do ask you to contact us to initiate the return. Please do not call the retail store as they operate separately from the warehouse and will not be able to issue you a return label etc.

One of the best plants! They are easy to care for and start new runners very soon.
Ordered myself some val after watching the video they posted to YouTube on it and thinking it looked amazing. Put it in while my latest tank was cycling and I can happily say it is now puuting out runners and is getting thick and bright. SO excited for it to grow more, fill out, and drape over the water
Have ordered twice now. Fast shipping and they keep you up to date on the shipping and delivery. I ordered the Vallisneria early afternoon and they shipped them out same day. Plants arrived well packaged and in good shape 2 days later. I have a low tech tank with moderate LED lighting. The Vallisneria lost it’s original leaves in a few days. New growth started immediately. I have them for about 10 days now and I it looks to me that so far the plants are growing about a 1/4” a day. I believe that when they are completely established they will even grow faster. I use root tabs and CO-Op Easy Green.
Don’t hesitate to order from the Co-op. Excellent customer service! And high quality product. Very rare to find a business that actually cares about the customer and quality of thier product, Aquarium Co-op is the needle in a haystack. Love this place!
