    You have app. He can search threads started by you for a better picture.

    Prodrive, you can view from his iq5 thread, should have pictures of how he plant and when they start creeping Yours seems to be a darker shade of green. But app do creep.

    Re: Elatine triandra aka app

    I bought the mesh from C328. googled fr pictures and saw something like app selling there. Ask uncle is it APP and he nodded.
    Saw qngwn IQ5 thread and the APP pics.
    Look a bit like mine. but maybe because I plant very deep in the substrate. and leave the leaves sticking out.
    Maybe tonight i take a clearer pic and post.

    Re: Elatine triandra aka app

    Yeap, thats the emerge version. Its a stem plant and when grow submerge, the leaves will grew thinner.
    It is actually a background plant, quite easy to grow.

    Thanks bro, I'll either do that or got for other carpet plants. If I buy a few mini fissiden tied to mesh, can. Get the creeping lush grass effect?

    Bro Prodrive...
    I feel mini Fissiden and mini pelia is nice...

    What I did initially to my mini fissiden was tied to mesh...and when it grow mature...I will cut off the string. And slowly remove it in whole..and let it sink. As it will root and hold to the soil and creep and crawl which will give you a natural look.

    I met a AQ bro who have a 4 x 2 x 2....growing purely on mini pelia without tying. It creep all around...even to the corner of the silicon. Somehow have me a relax viewing tank.

    Moreover...I believe this plants will be easy maintain then app.

    You can get APP from Seaview.
    The stock comes in time to time.
    I don't have luck with APP, always melt for me.
