Care is extremely easy for Water Spangles. It can thrive in a relatively wide pH range as well as moderate to high lighting. Its only major specific requirement is that it reportedly does not do well with a high level of surface agitation. It is best kept in an aquarium with gentle water flow. Under these simple conditions, it will multiply very quickly and provide significant denitrification as well as oxygenation, which is particularly important in aquariums with low water flow. It does not require CO2 supplementation. As it propagates, some Water Spangles plants should be removed so that they do not completely cover the entire water surface and smother the aquarium.
