Bailin, Hi, So I can't remember but was it you that got the Pellia at the AGA convention, or someone else. If so how is it doing? For those of you that weren't at the convention last year, there were some RARE plants brought in by Tropica as a donation. The Pellia, was one of them. I would describe it as a really big Riccia, but that might not be a fair description, one of the more advanced Aquatic Gardener's feel free to jump in here. We finally got some, I think are algae eating shrimp munched it in one tank, or we just lost it (it was 2 strands). Now, we have more in this little mesh bag to get it started. Again, starting with like 3 strands. Hope you guys have lots for the convention this year!! (every year there is something cool to get, I know) Take care, Kathy On Fri, 2 May 2003, Bailin Shaw wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > Well, I just noticed this list and joined up.
