Glossostigma elatinoides, or "Glosso" as it is more commonly known, is a popular low growing aquatic carpeting plant that originates from New Zealand. It is a popular choice among planted aquariumhobbyists who are interested in creating a lush carpet of greenery in their aquariums, especially those who keep freshwater shrimp.
