With the potted plant and/or bunch delivery methods, it is very important that the plant is not planted directly with invertebrates. The plant should be soaked for at least one week with regular water changes. The nurseries' source material for these delivery methods mostly comes from Asia. Invertebrates could be harmed when the plant is added to an established aquarium. There should be no problems with a new setup, but you should still carry out regular water changes here as well.

Description
This plant is mostly labeled Vallisneria spiralis 'Tiger', 'Striped', 'Marmor' (Marble) or 'Leopard'. However, a DNA analysis (Les & al., 2008) has revealed that the Tiger Vallisneria is a variant of Vallisneria nana. This Australian species is quite variable and includes not only the well-known very narrow-leaved, but also quite large plants with similarly broad leaves as Vallisneria spiralis.
The Tiger Vallisneria is an excellent plant for beginners, growing in virtually all light and water conditions. The name is due to its leaves with a pattern of dark brown, short stripes. The leaves are about 30-60 cm long and 1-2 cm wide, light to middle green, also with red-brown tones under strong lighting. The Tiger Vallisneria forms runners easily, and is thus easy to propagate.

Überraschend groß
Sehr schöne Pflanze mit schöner Färbung. Bei genug Licht rot/bräunlich, bei lichtschwachen Bereichen grün mit roten Akzenten. Das Muster macht sie optisch sehr interessant. Allerdings Vorsicht bei der Länge, bei mir im Becken wird sie 90-100cm lang und schattet schnell große Bereiche ab, da sie sehr schnell wächst. Die Blätter werden ca. 2cm breit. Ich würde für sie entsprechend für große und hohe Becken empfehlen
