    Hi guys... I just got a 1ft cube to keep me occupied during my school break... planning a low light and no CO2 tank... low maintenance. Was wondering whether marsilea crenata would be happy under those conditions... thanks in advance..

    Hey, I'm keepin some of them.

    Personally, I feel that they need at least average lightin. Low light may not work for them.

    Cheers!

    I find my marsilea actually creeps happily into the shadowy areas..... they must like the Dark Side....

    Budak, the ones you gave me macham frozen lah, even the crypts are doing better!
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    my marselia on the other hand belongs to the bright side...[] [] []

    i have more than 3W/G for a tank in which my marselia is pretty much alive...
    si i guess perhaps other tank conditions are more important, though most books will categorise marselia as low or medium light plants!

    hope this helps...

    aww.. drats.. I have around 1.5 watts/gal. hmmm... so marsilea is out? hmm... maybe I'll try a few stands... might just work out. If it fails I'll have to look for another low light alternative... maybe c.parva?
