Alexander ★★★★★

I've been using these in my 20-gallon blackwater setup and the silver sheen on top really pops against the tannin-stained water. The 10-stem pack went further than I expected, I only needed about half to fill out the tank.

George J. ★★★★★

The golden undersides give my blackwater tank that warm, sun-dappled look I was after, and they hold up well without clouding the water. Ten stems was more than enough to scatter across two tanks, each leaf staying put until I rearranged things.

Mia ★★★★★

The silver shimmer on these leaves really pops under my tank lights, and the golden backs give the whole setup that warm South American feel I was after. The pack of ten gave me plenty to scatter without the tank looking overcrowded.
