I have no experience with Eleocharis montevidensis but had planned on putting it in a recent setup, having read it seems to melt on a lot of people I asked Dave from aquarium gardens about his experience with it, its in at least one tank at the showroom he said that it can be a bit difficult in...

Yeah pics would be great Paulo, I wasn't planning on buying any but I am in the process of setting up a sub-tropical/unheated tank and might give it ago if it'll survive.

I think the general experience is most livewort don't survive longterm in aquariums, never owned it so this one could be different.

Just another example of silly trade names. Looks like it could be a liverwort not ideal for aquarium use.

Whilst surfing came across this moss, has any one used it the looks very interesting form the small photo. http://www.aquashrimps.co.uk/products/Cuba-Moss.html

For a scape I'm in the process of making I planned on using Microsorum 'narrow', I brought three pots of the web. When they arrived they looked larger than expected. I already had a tiny amount I'm a tank I used to keep some Betta coccina in, their leaves are less than 1cm wide and the...

I'm planning a new scape where Fissidens will be heavily involved, I was just thinking what the difference was between F. fontanus and F. nobilis. I've managed to get my hands on some fontanus, does anyone know anywhere I can find F. nobilis?

Cheers guys, V. nana it is then.

I'm currently having a tank built and should be ready this or next week, so I'm just compiling my plant list I have most sorted but I'm stuck on wether to choose V. nana or V. spiralis 'tiger'. I prefer the look of nana but the tank is 20" (50cm) tall and I'd like the leaves to run across the...

I've never grown it, I've also never seen it for sale in the uk. I remember reading that is has similar needs to glosso, It also travels very poorly.

Cheers for the link it does look like it and the write up sounds similar to my plant, but it also looks like some of the Didiplis photos off apc plantfinder. Tall trees My plant doesn't really change the direction of its growth, probably because the new growth it is in the top 1/4 of the...

Brought this plant from a lfs, at the weekend. Since then its grown a couple of inches and started growing more horizontaly, also the new growth is a orange/red colour that fades to yellow/green as apposed the original green. Its also started putting out a few side shoots Heres a pick - I'm...

For a new tank i am planning i am considering using one of these plants, but what are the differences between the two?

Cheers for the replys guys. Garuf I found the link you were talking about it was very helpful. I've decided to go for E. cordifoilus sks as for the problems you outlined with you experience with large Swords I don't think these will be a problem in my tank, in terms of the compaction of the...

Hi, I am planning a south American biotope aquarium with Apistogrammas tetras etc, I will not be using many plants but I am planing on having a large Echinodorus in one part of the tank with its leaves comming right out the tank. I would like to know if any one knows of any that would be...

I've never actually grown this plant, but i was thinking of it before i found out it likes alot of light. I found this a while back from a different forum - "Ideally, water on the soft and cool side would be good but not needed. It does however need a lot of light and CO2. It will...

Do you know what type of wendtii it is? what 'chrisi' said is likely to be correct i have a large amount of wendtiis 'tropica' and 'brown' these were both supplied from tropica with flat green emersed leaves these eventually melted away and the new brown submersed leaves are now present on both...

The lighting was 2 x 24w t5, (1x6500k, 1x aquamedic plant tube) for 10hrs a day and 1x150w for 4hrs. The tank was about 25g The plants did reach the surface of the tank which was 15" in height. The scape was my first attempt at a high tech scape and wasn't all that successful and i'd say the...

I had V. nana in a scape thats no longer, it was a great plant and definatly the best of the Vallis sp i've had. It speads quickly but the new plants stay quite small 6-8" and do seem to take a while till they send out long 12"+ leaves.
