A very attractive stem plant is Hottonia palustris. The filigree and feathery leaves are reminiscent of a Limophila or Myriophyllum species. The plant can be used well in the middle to background. It is highly recommended as an alternative to the invasive (trade ban) Cabomba carolinia.
The water feather is a very graceful plant with feathery leaves. It has long been known in aquaristics as a well-growing foreground or middle ground plant. Good lighting and sufficient CO2 supply are certainly necessary for good growth. Hottonia is highly recommended for unheated aquariums due to its distribution in the temperate climate zone. It is even native to some sites in Germany and is a protected species there. Due to the beautifully slit leaves, the water feather can be placed to great contrast in a carpet of Hemianthus Cuba or Micranthemum spec. 'Montecarlo'.

It has strong antioxidant properties that protect cells from stress and inflammation, promoting fish health. Catappa leaves also contain natural plant dyes that provide more intense and vibrant fish colors. Catappa-X therefore focuses primarily on color enhancement and health promotion. Humin Pro+ is a combination of fulvic and humic acids - organic molecules formed from the decomposition of plant and animal material found in soil, peat, streams and natural waters. Humic acids can replicate the tropical water conditions found in the natural habitat of many aquarium fish. Humin Pro+ is particularly recommended for tropical fish, while Catappa-X is suitable for all fish species. In addition, humic substances stimulate enzyme activity not only in fish, but also in plants and microorganisms in the aquarium. Aquatic plants can absorb nutrients more efficiently, while beneficial microorganisms continue to thrive - ensuring a healthy and stable ecosystem in the aquarium.
