    It's growing, though I am quite sure it's not in its full glory. The leaves are not curling and pretty like the pictures online..

    Awesome Eric. There are a few plants in your thread that I would like to get. Thanks for identifying it to me.

    Does nana need co2 to grow well in a tank?

    I'm still looking for a plant that seems to be a crawling plants. The leaves look like 3 pointed ferns. I don't know what is the name that's why I can't get the pic. Do you know of any aquarium plants that is like a crawler?

    Thanks.
    nana need CO2 to grow well. but for it to survive, it can, using the small amount of CO2 found in the water of a non CO2 injected tank. This is not true if you have a tank full of nanas. if plant mass increases, more competition for Co2.. so will need to inject CO2 for a densely planted tank.


    Crawling plant, looks like ferns.. feels like bolbitis

    this plant is not exactly a crawler, but is a fern. will need to be tied to something or at least leave the rhizome exposed to light for it to survive.

    Nope that's not the one I'm looking for. It's usually bright green and works like a money plant. You can see it slowly crawl and spread. Sort of like a nice bright green patch.

    hahah ding ding ding!

    ya, it needs CO2.
    6-14 mg per liter is the requirement. normal water at room temperature is about 0.7 to 2.1 mg per liter if i am not mistaken.. so you will need CO2 injection.

    local LFS sells them. seen some from y618 and C328.

    I would stalk the forum buy sell and post a WANT thread.

    Dang. Looks like I need to get a co2 bottle then. I do hope it's worth the investment. Thanks a lot Eric. Subscribed to this thread in order to know of the plants.

    Awesome man. You should start a photo journal of plants and how they look like. Will be great for newbies like me.

    Wow! Amazing iphone pics! May I ask what type of glass your tank is made of, and whether you're using any lens attachments to take these? I really like the second pic, gives the sense of defying gravity (both the moss and the upside-down shrimp)

    Haha, thanks for the compliments, I really don't deserve them. I am newbie too. There are actually a lot of photo journals around. A lot of forum-ers also have informative blogs that are actively maintained. Do check them out. I just try to share what I know and have. Also try to share some poison whenever possible. Lol

    Speaking of poison. Get that co2. Opens up your choices for plants significantly!

    Actually I did not use any attachment. My tank is made of normal float glass. Some photos u actually had to do some minor tweaking in order to hide reflections of myself and the phone. Luckily for me my phone is black so reflections are not that obvious.

    How tall does the staurogyne grow too? Does it stay that height?

    All my staurogyne never grow taller than 5cm. I know that it can grow taller than that. Think for my tanks, the light intensity keeps them down.
