    They are fantastic. Some years ago I got a sudden urge (from seeing them on subreddits) to grow these in my aquaria, but then I looked at several aquarist forums and realized that I shouldn’t. Really shouldn’t. They kind of don’t seem like they need more habitats to thrive in.

        More like incredibly aggressive. They are a type of algae after all. If you don’t keep a firm leash on them they’ll reproduce enough to drain all the oxygen and nutrients from an enclosed system like an aquarium.

        Plant tribbles, if you will.
