There was another Amazonian planted tank in the Barnes and Noble book shop beside the Baltimore aquarium. I read that it was suppose to be the largest planted tank in US.

I'm surprised, there is no aquatic plants in the biotope exhibit! So where is the popular Echinodorus species growing in nature?

what is shown is a flooded forest biotope, part of the year some entire forests are flooded to an extend that entire young trees (10+ ft high) will be completely submerged.

Echinodorus are marsh plants so they would be growing on marsh land where there is no canopy cover. When the river floods, the Echinodorus would transit into fully aquatic.

I guess its ok as long as it dead and will not grow and break a hole through the ceiling? Would be wonderful to have a whole room of the amazon in a room...if you have the space that is... :P
