A timeless favorite among aquatic plants, Anacharis brings lush, vibrant greenery to any freshwater aquarium. Also known by its scientific name Egeria densa, this classic live aquatic plant is treasured by beginner and seasoned aquarists alike, not only for its aesthetic appeal but for its incredibly low-maintenance nature. Native to South America, Anacharis is a fast-growing, stem-style plant that plays a vital role in maintaining water quality while providing shelter and oxygen for fish and shrimp.
Anacharis is one of the most adaptable species available in the aquatic plant world. It thrives in a wide range of conditions and lighting, from low to high light, and requires no special substrate or CO2 supplementation to flourish. Its ability to absorb excess nutrients from the water makes it an effective natural algae controller, perfect for keeping tanks crystal clear. Whether you’re looking to establish a planted aquarium or simply want a plant that supports healthy aquatic life, Anacharis is an ideal choice.
This hardy plant can be anchored in the substrate, attached to decor, or left to float freely at the surface, making it incredibly flexible in aquascaping. Its delicate, feathery green leaves provide a beautiful contrast to harder textures and offer excellent coverage for fry and small aquatic creatures. Given its fast growth rate and dense foliage, Anacharis works especially well in the background or sides of the aquarium to create a lush, natural setting.

Anacharis Aquatic Plant Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is Anacharis a floating or rooted plant?
Anacharis can be both! It can be anchored in substrate or left to float freely. Floating it allows for faster growth, while planting creates a rooted, structured aquascape.
Does Anacharis help with algae control?
Yes! Anacharis absorbs excess nutrients like nitrates and phosphates, which can help reduce algae growth naturally in the aquarium.
Why is my Anacharis turning brown or translucent?
Anacharis may turn brown or translucent due to poor lighting, lack of nutrients, or drastic changes in water parameters. Make sure it’s receiving enough light and supplement with a liquid fertilizer if needed.
Will fish eat or damage Anacharis?
Most community fish will not harm Anacharis. However, goldfish and some herbivorous fish may nibble on it. Its fast growth usually compensates for mild grazing.
