[edit] Environment Specifics
Easy plant to grow. If growing from a bulb, drop the bulb in the aquarium and let it grow, don't bury it in the gravel. In some cases it will stay small enough to be placed in the foreground, but in other cases it will sprout to the surface in a matter of days.
[edit] Identification
Circular shaped leaves on a thin stalk sprouting from a bulb.
