Re: Glossostigma
I had reasonable good results with glosso until my fish learned how to rip
it out of the substrate.It is a pain to plant.Better have some long tweezers
handy.
I found that it needed a lot of light and CO2.I use Flourite as substrate in
most of my planted tanks. I think Glosso would grow better in a sandy
substrate.
I gave up on it and use E.tennellus as foreground plants.My Discus love to
look for food in the tennellus.

Don't keep it in a tank with Pelvicachromis taeniatus (see, there IS a
dwarf angle on all of this!). Seriously, I've not had very spectacular
results with Glosso yet; it kind of just limps along and tries not to get
picked at by the fish. After seeing Amano's aquascaping workshop at the
Aquatic Apisto...err...Gardeners Convention last fall, I'm giving
foreground plants like this another go by removing all the shade and
starting with better stock. I may have something to report back in about
a month.
