I can't begin to tell you how easy it is to take care of this plant. I got 1 single tub of the 1 2 grow stuff and in a very short time it was 30cm tall with 5 - 8cm sized Leaves. It's quite incredible just how well it does.

I have no co2 or ferts nor any special substrate and about 0.25 watts / litre (t5) and I couldn't stop the nymphoides if I tried!

Good luck with yours but you won't need it, he he!

Ah! Thank-you! I was worried as I've had Tiger Lotus(Nymphaea zenkeri) before and they needed high lighting and everything lol. Mind you, that was a red plants not a green one like the Nymphoides so I'd expect it probably is easier

I have LED lighting on my tank and will be using Tropica Premium Fertiliser and Easy Carbo so can I expect an outburst of it?

I can only assume so, yeah! As I said, I didn't add anything at all so if it takes over your house don't blame me!

Well, if the bananas grow like mine you might not even see any other plants!

Very nice indeed. Lovely natural looking tank and like the banana plant.................
 
Hmmm, think will be tempting to get some if I ever see them in LFS.
 
Thanks for showing the whole tank
