Introduction

Lagenandra Meeboldii Red is a striking aquarium plant that brings vibrant red and green hues to your aquascape. This slow-growing plant features elongated, narrow leaves that transition into stunning red tones under proper conditions. It’s an excellent choice for aquarists seeking to add a splash of color to the mid or background of their tank.

Origin

Lagenandra Meeboldii Red is native to India and Sri Lanka, where it can be found in freshwater habitats such as shallow streams and ponds.

Scientific Name

Lagenandra Meeboldii Red

Lighting Requirements

This plant thrives under moderate to high lighting. To bring out its vivid red coloration, providing 8 to 10 hours of light per day is ideal. Bright lighting encourages the red pigments to fully develop, although it can tolerate lower lighting levels with slower growth and less intense color.

Care Level

Lagenandra Meeboldii Red is considered moderately easy to care for, with a care level of 4 on a scale of 1 to 10. It is suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists, but it does require stable water parameters to flourish.

Preferred Water Parameters

  • Temperature: 72°F to 82°F (22°C to 28°C)
  • pH Level: 6.0 to 7.5
  • GH Level (General Hardness): 4 to 8 dGH
  • KH Level (Carbonate Hardness): 3 to 6 dKH

Placement

Lagenandra Meeboldii Red works well as a midground or background plant. Its vibrant color makes it a stunning focal point in aquascapes. It can be placed in nutrient-rich substrates, or it can be tied to driftwood or rocks to create a natural look.

Growth Rate

Lagenandra Meeboldii Red has a slow growth rate. It may take time to establish, but once rooted, it will steadily grow, creating a dense and colorful display. Pruning is occasionally required to maintain shape and prevent overcrowding.

CO2 and Fertilizer

  • CO2 Supplementation: Not essential but can improve growth, especially in aquariums with higher lighting.
  • Fertilizer: Liquid fertilizers or a nutrient-rich substrate are beneficial for promoting healthy growth. Regular fertilization will help maintain the rich colors of the plant.

Potential Problems

  • Poor Coloration: If the plant isn’t receiving enough light, it may lack the desired red coloration.
  • Browning or Yellowing Leaves: This could occur due to nutrient deficiencies, especially a lack of iron or potassium.
  • Algae Growth: Like many plants, Lagenandra Meeboldii Red is prone to algae growth under certain conditions, especially if water flow is insufficient.

Compatible Fishes

Lagenandra Meeboldii Red is peaceful and does well with a variety of non-aggressive fish species, including:

  • Tetras
  • Rasboras
  • Gouramis
  • Corydoras Catfish
  • Shrimp (e.g., Amano Shrimp, Cherry Shrimp)

Other Suitable Plants

Pairing Lagenandra Meeboldii Red with plants such as:

  • Cryptocoryne species for contrasting textures
  • Anubias species for additional structure
  • Ludwigia for a pop of color and visual depth

Tropical or Cold Water?

Lagenandra Meeboldii Red is a tropical plant and thrives in warm aquarium conditions. Ideal temperatures range from 72°F to 82°F (22°C to 28°C).

What Fish Can Eat It?

This plant is generally safe from being eaten by most fish due to its tougher leaves. However, some herbivores, like certain snails or large cichlids, may occasionally nibble on it.

A Fun Fact

Lagenandra Meeboldii Red’s vivid red tones are more likely to emerge with higher light levels and nutrient-rich conditions, making it one of the most striking plants in aquascaping.
