I have wanted to try this Helen! Do the leaves rot? do you boil them or anything or just plop them right in? I once thought of dipping them in some kind of resin to keep them from rotting in the tank. I'd like to try this I guess I 've been a bit overly concerned regarding how they might effect the water quality. BTW how are the A.atahualpa and the pucculapaensis? any luck yet? ===== David Sanchez Orlando, FL http://www.mindspring.com/~barbax barbax@mindspring.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
