Myriophyllum guyana is a delicate and beautiful stem plant known for its fine, feathery foliage and light green coloration. Native to South America, it adds a soft, textured look to freshwater aquascapes and is especially popular in nano and high-tech planted tanks.
Due to its compact growth and elegant leaves, it's often used as a midground to background plant, or even in the foreground for larger aquariums. Under strong lighting and CO₂ injection, this plant forms dense, bushy groups that sway gently with water flow.
