Today is boxing day sale madness all over and was out at the LFS I normally don't deal with. Its boxing day and slaes are booming, so we picked up some things as well as some plants! ^^
The plants we picked up to add to our 55g Discus planted was Micro Sword, Java Fern(Again it always dies on me), Java fern has the weird ends to it, and Utricularia Graminifolia and it was marked Utricularia SP. ..... Although I have the tage Utricularia graminifolia is what it says it is. This is definitly a rare plant where I am from and actually the first time I have seen it where I am, but it might not actually be a rare plant and it is to me, even our LFS's don't carry Ricca and this is a well known plant!
So we decided we wanted to try this as a grown cover and see how it works (We are still running into issues with ricca staying on our log in our tank) I read the proper way was to devide it up like into 4 peices and we had a huge peace and ended up getting 5 out of it and planted them pretty far apart.
Has anyone grown this underwater with huge success, I have seen on the net that many have had it grow quick in there tanks and some slow.
I am running C02 with ferts EI dosing, High lighting(tank setup can be seen in my signature). I heard it can be difficult to grow. Basically we are now getting rid of alot of the stem plants we grown for many months and now going with some harder plants to grow. (This plant was expensive
