Elodea nuttallii
Entity overview
The profile uses floating growth behavior alongside midground/background placement tags.
For entity matching, taxonomy contributes genus Elodea, family Hydrocharitaceae, order Alismatales, and major group Angiosperms.
For broader context and filtering, open the Aquarium Plant Library.
Water parameter context
The water summary uses temperature 20–25 °C, pH 5–9, KH 2–21 °dKH, and CO2 5–40 mg/L.
For this profile: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
The nutrient fields provide nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.
Aquarium tool: Calculate nutrient dosing.
Care data interpretation
Care data shows easy difficulty, medium light demand, and recommended CO2.
Emersed growth appears as a supported profile value.
