Hygrophila polysperma, also known as dwarf hygro, Indian waterweed and dwarf hygrophila is one of the hardiest aquarium plants available in the aquarium hobby. It is so resilient and forgiving, that you almost have to set out with the intent to kill it, to really fail with this plant.
It was originally native to Asia, and can be found in the inland waters of India, Bangladesh, China and Malaysia.
#PropagationDwarfHyrophila
is propagated in the home aquarium by simply pinching off a segment, and planting it in the substrate. Even a single, fully formed leaf can be used to grow a new plant, and almost no piece of the plant is too small to create a brand new dwarf hygro plant.
If you are looking to plant a new aquarium, a mature dwarf hygro plant can be broken into numerous plants, which can then be planted individually. The plants should be given considerable space, since they will quickly begin to crowd out other plants with their rapid growth.
Compatibility
Dwarf hygrophila is compatible with most small fish and snails, and is generally ignored by even small herbivore fish. It does best in community tanks, and tanks with either digging cichlids, or hungry goldfish should be avoided.

I used hydrometer and thermometer in one to just check the fluctuation in salinity and the temperature in real time due to evaporation b/c the tank is so small.
