“Worked at an aquarium for several years but also went into Petstock to confirm the info in the other review here as I was wanted to pick up some of this plant for myself. Petstock only has aquatic plants, if its in water, its aquatic. This particular plant does not last more than a few weeks, Its meant to help with the ˜good bacteria in the tank but unfortunately doesnt last super long (grass types and ones in pots do) Holes in plants are almost all of the time due to fish eating them (which is totally ok) and slimyness is just algae on the leaves which can just be wiped off but can also indicate you are not cleaning your tank often enough if there is lots and lots of build up. Hope this clarified some things for others also interested.”
