Eelgrasses is an aquatic plant commonly found in freshwater tanks and ponds. Optimal care for eelgrasses includes ample light for photosynthesis, a temperature range of 18-28°C (64-82°F), and a preference for a neutral to slightly acidic pH in the water. Eelgrasses has a standard requirement for a substrate conducive to root expansion, most notably soft, nutrient-rich soil or fine gravel. Common challenges when growing eelgrasses involve managing algae growth, which can outcompete eelgrasses for nutrients and light, and plant deterioration in conditions unsuitable for their growth. Seasonally, eelgrasses is adaptive but might require supplemental lighting and water temperature control during winter to mimic the natural growth environment.
