    I took a picture of the Downoi in my own tank and it's growing quite well recently. Here it is in submersed form:



    I can see where you're getting at, Mike. Just to let you know, this afternoon, I transferred a Downoi into my terrarium tank. I'm trying to grow it emersed. But no promises, so many people ask me for aquatic plants and killifish eggs I don't know who I should send to .

    your downoi is so pretty because it is feeding on dead fish
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Hi,

    This is a really beautiful plant. However, I have not seen this beauty sold in any shop. Where can I get this plant?
    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers,

    Hi all,
    My first post up here actually. Was at Teo's two weeks ago but he said that he wasn't ready to sell these little beauties yet. Not sure about now though. Anyone who's been there recently care to update me on this info?

    Thanks!

    Hi Kim Leng,

    Do they sell the plants in their main tank to anyone or must have some sort of 'connection' or 'kwan xi'? I would make it a trip there if they sell these beauties to anyone.

    Cheers,
    Simon

    Well....I bought some plants from them about a month ago....but this guy was a different person that attended to me ... I just asked if they were for sale...he said yes...so I choose and bought...

    They were expensive by my standards.... my eyes popped out when I asked the price.... I still bought them because they are so cute.....will try to propogate them to get more so can plant as a group....

    I think they sell the plants as long as they can just cut them off...they wont uproot them from the tank....

    Eco culture has a few pieces also..you may want to check them out...
