Bacopa Colorata

Bacopa colorata is an attractive aquatic plant known for its vibrant green leaves that can turn pinkish or reddish under high light conditions. It features small, rounded leaves growing in opposite pairs along its stems, which can reach heights of 20-30 cm (8-12 inches). This plant is popular in aquascaping due to its versatility, moderate growth rate, and ability to add both color and texture to aquarium landscapes. Suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists, Bacopa colorata can be used effectively in mid-ground or background settings within various aquascaping styles, including Dutch and Nature aquariums.
