I've been getting my plants from Aqua essentials, for a while now, and they all come well packed and quickly. They have been good quality and do well growing in my aquarium. The prices are fair too. Would recommend

Description
Six bunches of Egeria densa (Elodea densa) — one of the fastest-growing and most effective oxygenating plants available — supplied in a bulk pack for filling larger aquariums and ponds quickly. The dense whorls of bright green leaves along multiple branching stems create generous coverage and deliver significant oxygen output, nutrient uptake, and natural shelter for fish, fry, and shrimp at exceptional value.
It grows in low light without CO2 injection and tolerates both coldwater and tropical temperatures — one of the most versatile oxygenating plants available. Growth is fast and it benefits from regular trimming to keep it manageable and healthy. Six bunches provide substantial, immediate impact in larger aquariums and pond set-ups where a single bunch would make little visual difference.
Supplied as six unweighted bunches. Plant groups of stems into the substrate or leave floating. In a pond, simply introduce directly to the water. Trim excess growth regularly. Suitable for aquariums of 100 litres and above and garden ponds where rapid, bulk oxygenation is the priority.

Love this! However six bunches might have been too much for my 55 litre tank, bought so my three female bettas could hide when they need to, only bought a couple of weeks ago but already growing (photo from when I first planted it, grown taller since this photo).

Exceptional. I'm writing this review over four months after the plants arrived and they are only now starting to look tatty. The ones from my local aquarium shop usually last about a month if I'm lucky
M
Its my first time to deal with them. I am greatly satisfied with the whole friendly yet professional service. Elodea plants arrived securely and beautifully backed. Plants in great condition. Arrived promptly as I needed it fast delivery. A great service all over since I made my enquiry phone call.
J
As before, the plants arrived promptly and well packed to stand the riggers of today’s delivery services. The plants were a little paler in colour than I expected but were of reasonable in length. Hopefully these plants will become well established in the tank once they start to take root.
Why buy six bunches rather than two?
Six bunches provide far more immediate planting impact in larger tanks and ponds. The bulk price also gives better value than buying multiple packs of two.
Does it need CO2 or special lighting?
No — it grows in low light without CO2 and suits low-tech aquariums and ponds.
How fast does it grow?
Very fast in good conditions — one of the quickest-growing oxygenating plants available. Regular trimming helps keep it healthy and stops it becoming unmanageable.
Can it be used in a pond?
Yes — it tolerates both coldwater and tropical temperatures and works well in garden ponds as a summer oxygenator.
Can I float the bunches instead of planting them?
Yes — they can be floated freely or planted in substrate. Both approaches work well.
