Plant recommendation.

[chua]

Hi

Recently, i removed my vals because they are so long blocking some amount of light..
Hence, i have a small portion of space at the back right hand side of my tank.
Can anyone help me to think of a plant to place it in?
Better if can send me the pic.

Thks.

I recommend Blyxa aubertii... tall and graceful and it doesn't spread and produces many flowers.... low or high light is fine.... available at Bioplast....

Hi Budak,

Thks for the recommendation.
Actually i thought of buying it too some time ago.
Unfortunately, Teo no more stock then.
They also said that it is not a easy plant to grow.

Anyway, i would like to ask
1) How tall can Blyxa aubertii grow up to as compare with Japanica?
It only said middle ground plant in the plants database.

2) Is the colour of the above two plants the same.

Thks.

B. aubertii gets to well over a foot tall - a background plant. Under very high light, the leaves become tinged with a dull red, otherwise the colour's a light, slightly dirty green.

Getting a robust specimen helps greatly in survival. Many specimens I have seen in LFS are really hopeless cases, on the verge of melting.
