    Hi,

    I was going thru' Amano's Vol2 and in one of the 2ft setup, he used Cyperus helferi. This has very nice effect...that 'wild' look...quite different if you used Val instead.

    I am looking for this but couldn't find any? Any other plants have the same appeal? Recommendation....

    Any of you have experience on keeping Cyperus helferi? What its characteristic like...water, light, CO2...etc

    Thanks [] [] []
    Regards,

    Try Rainbow at Serangoon.

    They have quite a few pots in the far left tank
    at the plants section.

    I think its $5 a pot.

    You can try Clementi, Rainbow, Taiwan shop or Havelock, you need some luck.
    Teo is the only place that confirm has the plant.

    IME, it not difficult to grow, dun think there is any special requirement. However, as it is slow growing, it is prone to BBA. Also, the pruning of the old/brownish leaves is not an easy task.
