Thats a shame. I'm thinking about a HMPK from Finzntailz as their fish look stunning. Even the females look lovely.

Looks good, the calendar is a tad distracting
Pleased the Cabomba and Frogbit has done OK. If you want to bulk your Frogbit up? You can grow spare plants in an ice-cream carton on a window-sill.It's quite dark in there now as the frogbit has multiplied very well, should thin it out really but want to use in my next larger tank so staying put for now...

It is temperature sensitive, but I've found it hardier than Pistia or Salvinia. I've never had any problem with it inside and it does well outside until October/November, as long as we don't have an air frost.Ah ok, is it very temperature sensitive Darrel?
I think it might be a water hardness issue, I've got C. caroliniana in most of the tanks (all rain water), and lot of them are pretty gloomy, but it still does OK (I originally sent the Cabomba in this tank to to Rob).well done on growing Cabomba the low-energy way. Its never done that well in my tanks, even C. caroliniana falls apart after a while
That's pretty much what I concluded as well, and likewise with L. sessiliflora as well. In fact TBO I've not had that much success with any plants with finely divided whorl like leaves. Must try harder...Hi all, I think it might be a water hardness issue, I've got C. caroliniana in most of the tanks (all rain water), and lot of them are pretty gloomy, but it still does OK (I originally sent the Cabomba in this tank to to Rob).
In the tap water tank (about 16 dKH), where I experimented with Vallisneria, it did the same as yours, continually fell apart and eventually dwindled away. Vallisneria showed the opposite response, in the rain water tanks it goes yellow and declines, but in this tank it spread really quickly.
I've tried a few different Cabomba spp. none of the others have survived long, and Limnophila sessiliflora also "shuffled off its mortal coil" fairly rapidly.

I have this tank but haven't ventured setting it up yet, worried about he Solar light...
Lovely fish and nice looking tank. I have this tank but haven't ventured setting it up yet, worried about he Solar light...
