E. Tenellus & A. Ulvaceus!

[HerrGideon]

hi,

i just planted echinodorus tenellus in little shoots, 1 cm apart in my 4 feet tank yesterday. does anyone know how long it will take to start growing?

also, i just bought aponogeton ulvaceus today. are its leaves vulnerable to shrimp and SAEs or other fish? because i saw some tears in its leaves, and i don't think they were there earlier on. and how long will it take to start growing?

would appreciate replies.
thanks!

As far as i know, E tenull is a fast grower. it propagate by runners. About the time for it to grow, it really depends on the condition of your tank. For my case, i observe some changes after a few days, but the submerged leaves will decay and die off so don't be worry by it.

thanks chua for your reply!

if they decay and die off, then what am i supposed to see?

Alos fo rfast growth when it the new runner is rooted cut the main link between them for faster growth

ah i see..thanks!

so how long will e. tenellus and a. ulvaceus take to start growing?
can anyone give me some advice?

For me it took a few weeks, 3 to 4 if I'm not wrong. But that was without c02. With c02 and high light, tennellus should chiong their growth.

you will see new emerged leaves. Think will be a darker green and is tinted with red under good condition.

it's been one week..and the e. tenellus are throwing out a few runners here and there, and the ulvaceus growing 4 new leaves!

thanks for all your replies!
