    Hey guys! Which of the two grows better in a low light (0.5W/g) setup? Also, where to get them?

    Lilaeopsis brasiliensis over Utricularia graminifolia for myself.

    Lilaeopsis brasiliensis in a slow growth and low demanding plant.
    Details can be found here: http://www.tropica.com/en/plants/pla...n.aspx?pid=040

    Utricularia graminifolia is known to melt during adaptation to new waters.

    Personally i feel that Lilaeopsis brasiliensis requires lesser CO2 injection as compared to Utricularia graminifolia.

    I find Lilaeopsis brasiliensis easier to grow and maintenance very much like triming Eleocharis sp Mini, I had problem with Utricularia graminifolia that's in the same tank with my Lilaepsis.

    Thank you! However, I bought a plant (IDed by other members as the lilaopsis sp.) and it has started to turn brown at its tips... I'll upload the pics of it asap!

    Brazilian Microswords are much easier to maintain and are very hardy.. Will survive different types of attacks by algae, excel, H2O2 etc..
