Sorry to sounbd a bit thik but I have no idea

That plant is GREAT, none of the fish touch it. It grows faster than you could hope for and every 4 weeks I cut it back all the cut stalks produce more leaves a week later. I then replant the cut off ends which themselves start growing in a matter of days!

I tried every plant you can think off and this is by far the easiest plant to maintain.
