The Myriophyllum mattogrossense, commonly known as Green Watermilfoil, is a fast-growing, fine-leaved stem plant with soft, feathery foliage that adds motion and volume to any aquascape. Its delicate, fern-like leaves range from light green to reddish tones depending on lighting and nutrients, creating a lush, textured backdrop or midground accent.
Grown in sterile lab conditions, this tissue-cultured version is 100% free of pests, algae, and snails—making it an excellent choice for shrimp tanks and sensitive setups. With proper lighting and nutrients, M. mattogrossense grows quickly and responds well to trimming, allowing aquascapers to shape it into dense bushes or use it for background layering.

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
