Experience with Hemianthus Callitrichoides

[hammy]

Hi all, does any one have any experience with HC? Heard that it is as demanding, if not, more demanding then glosso...

Hi,

Yes, it's a tougher plant to keep than glosso. You need good amounts of light, CO2 and nutrients to keep them at their best.

[hammy]

Oh ok. Thanks Vic. And propagation, are they as fast as glosso?

[victri]

Don't we all wish? No, it's actually pretty slow. Takes about 2-3 weeks to get established in the tank, and then spreads very slowly.

Arrggh!! I noticed that my yamatos and snails are attacking them!! I've caught out most of my yamatos and I've introduced a fresh water puffer into the tank. Hope this will help...
