  • Great for Shrimp
  • High Light
  • Carpeting

Dwarf Baby Tears is one of the smallest known plants in aquarium keeping. It is a very short and compact carpeting plant with delicate, bright green leaves. Because it is so small, it does quite well as a foreground plant or for filling empty spaces of an aquarium.

Dwarf baby tears will spread across your aquarium with runners until it forms a thick carpet. This provides an excellent place for shrimp to graze or for spawning fish to hide their eggs.
