Just get down to your local forest !! Endless varieites of moss

ceratophylum = Hornwort good to hear of every ones experiences, thanks! Ive never had any trouble keeping shrimps, and have also kept them with Anubias and Crypts and have never suffered any major losses. Just nice to be able to check with the UKAPS members. :)

I found this post on a shrimp forum - "I wonder if this notion is because anubias, and crypts to a lesser extent, are related to the philodendron (aroid) family? Philodendrons are toxic, and can be a hazard to pets (dogs, cats, ferrets, etc.) that might chew on them. Also, in reading about...

I been told that I should be careful with certain plants in my shrimp tanks. Ceratophylum, Cabomba , Anubias and cryptos can all apparantly be toxic to shrimps ?? I have kept Anubias and crypto in shrimp tanks before with no problem Anyone know if there is any truth in the above? Thanks

No LFS's ??? where abouts are you?

Sounds easy enough!

Do You plant the vertical stems Dan? I dont have to dig out all the horizontal ones like Gloso do I ?

Hi Will, Cant say Ive too much expierience with swords (Echinodorus Sp.) But I hink you may have gone a bit OTT! However all is not lost - I think with Swords you would usually just remove the oldest leaves (and stems) by cutting them as close to the base of the plant as poss. I dont think...

On the subject of Pogostemon colour, Ive read that under the right conditions (nutrients and light) P. Helferi will exhibit purple/pink edges to the leaves, anyone seen it happen? is this a colour variant? I saw a picture of it in an AGA booklet, looked really nice!

Thanks Clive, Ive trimmed, replanted and redirected the filter outlet to create some circulation amognst the stems. Fingers crossed now.... Thanks

Hi Clive, Having read your article I went out and picked up some LA. Its done really well having made the transition to submerged leaves. It pearls well and has no signs of algae however it has recently started to loose lower leaves, The tops are just below the surface now and it needs...

LOL good point :D unfortunatley Sunday is a working day for me!

Sundays were invented for visiting The LFS!!! not sitting indoors internet shopping (says he posting on a Sunday :oops: ) Just think of all the loveley fish you could be browsing.

Thers a MA at Cambridge! really tidy shop. Speak to phil :D

Just read this.... What a fantastic review. The colours in your plants are so vibrant, Really very impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Worth having a look at Myriophyllum mezianum too! A mid ground stem plant that looks fantastic esp. when pearling.

Great job on the nano George and congrats on your article for Tropica. It must be very rewarding to be recognised by such a Company. Well done :D

sounds nice any chance of a pic?

Hmmm who knows! Anybody manages to find some please let me know

ME TOO!!!!!!! :D

Loveley looking looking plant. I wouldnt mind getting hold of some!

Anyone know anything about Elatine triandra. Anyone grown it?

Ive seen HC available on mats (like moss) as well as on coconut shells. I posted the question about it not having its roots in substrate on another forum and the guys there seemed to think it would be ok with good liquid ferts. Interesting to here how you get on with it.

Im afarid the Dracenas will definatly rot. The spatiphylum may last a little longer. Most shops have someone who is into their plants, you need to work out which member of staff can offer you the best advice on planted aquariums and get to know him/her. A lot of stores will employ partimers and...

No its not aquatic, Spatyphylum willisi or peace lilly (not sure about the spelling) although it does make quite a good bog plant so it may do well once it extends its leaves above the surface, Useful in terrariums! Im afraid the red edge plant and the variegated at the back (Dracena) are also...

Hi , Welcome to Ukaps! be warned its addictive! :wink: Tropica plants are top quality! (unless theve sat in a stock tank with no light co2 for a week or six) Is the price for one of each in your list plus the 4 moss balls?
