All the best to ur Pellia project..

My pelia grows very well, but cant say the same for my mini. I think the temp is critical and CO2. The light will help(grow faster) but not so critical.

ohx.. thanks bro. may i know will yamato feed on the new baby growth? what kind of fert is adviseable to add?

[JT]

Cant really say for sure, I seen some yamato feeding on plants, but to be fair, those are "dying" leaves - brown or getting transulent soon...However for sure, yamatos will go "plucking" on those new baby growth. If they are not anchor properly, they are likely to get uprooted. I'm quite sure as i seen them "plucking" riccia and the riccia will float up.

ohx.. thanks bro.. ani more tips for growing pellia?

[JT]

Need some more info on your tank. eg, tank size, lightning, co2..etc.
Cant say i'm the expert, but just some observation from my pelia growing in my 4ft tank. The grow well and fast with cool temp and lightning. Those nearer to the surface will grow very fast. However I also notice they(pelia) seems to have some form of roots(in the form of hairs). They anchor themselves to whatever they can hold on to. For those in my foreground, they clinch on to my fertilizers beads.
