    Hi, anyone have any fast growing mid-ground stem plants to recommend as I want to replace my java ferns as they are attracting algae. I saw in another thread that Urban Aquaria recommend to have Hemianthus Micranthemoides aka HM. Any other recommendation? Thanks in advance.

    I would go with,
    1. Pearl weed (hm)
    2. Blyxia japonica
    3. Dwarf sagi
    4. Tiger lotus if you have high lights
    5. Some penny worts

    Erctheanda: ok, maybe can go take a look this weekend. Some of the plants they don't label and I got no clue what it is.

    muakmuak: great, will let you know again when nearing Saturday.

    Itsai: Clementi is abit far for me but Pasir Ris, serangoon north or Yishun still ok with me.

    Is always a challenge to hunt at C328. Don't know how you guys manage to do it. The stem plants in those tiny bags have no names hanging outside the shop.
