    Where did you get the A.boivinianus? I had one previously but it melted and never revived back **sob**.

    Might I suggest that you top up the water as much as you can....
    Cheers!!

    Yupz, mine melted too after about a year...

    but i have success reviving A.madagascaris before though...
    i just cut away all leaves after the growing period ends, left the bulb in the tank (did not bury, just chuck it in some corner) and hey...in 5 months... it was revived and growing small leaves. Planted it back into the gravel and it sprout away strongly!

    do not do to others what you will not want done to you!

    be kind! =)

    The temp suggested by Kaselmann is 22~25 deg C. Probably why mine melted.

    i suggest creating some space for your lotus and the A.ulvaceus, moving the blyxa a bit back ( maybe surrounding your boivinianus?) or to the sides and letting the elatine take over your foreground. Should be nicer.

    hey thats not a bad idea !!
    so that means i shift the wood back a bit , move the boivinianus a bit to the right . shift the japanese grass to form a barrier , and trim my APP and plant it therE ?
