Justicia gendarussa - Live Aquarium plant

• Justicia gendarussa is a hardy shrub species that is known to exist in swampy environments, and is becoming popular in aquaria for the apparent reason that herbivorous fish do not find it’s leaves particularly appetising.
• A rather large specimen, it’s growth habits are similar to that of Hygrophila corymbosa and as such works best as a background plant that can attain a height of up to 30cm, but is far slower growing.
