Guppy grass, najas grass, or – scientifically – Najas guadalupensis, is a fast-growing plant that is especially great for breeding tanks and shrimp tanks. It provides a good hiding place for fry, and shrimp love it too. Guppy grass efficiently pulls nitrate from the water column, so it can be used in heavily stocked tanks to keep nitrate levels low.
