Thanks Dave! How are your Killies doing these days - I was nice to see your fishroom a while back. I am growing some interesting fresh water shrimp called "Scuds" that grow to less than a cm as live food. Might be something you might want to try... -Dave Walburger -----Original Message----- From: Sanford, Dave LHS-STAFF [mailto:Sanfordd@issaquah.wednet.edu] Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2000 8:54 AM To: 'gsas-member@thekrib.com' Subject: RE: High Temp Plants Hi, Barclaya is a really cool plant, but it does require very bright light which might make your discus happy. -----Original Message----- From: Erik Olson [mailto:erik@thekrib.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2000 7:56 AM To: 'gsas-member@thekrib.com' Subject: Re: High Temp Plants On Wed, 5 Jan 2000, Walburger, David wrote: > Erik, > > How about some plants that do well at higher temps (86F)?

I will put this on the list. Some other ideas might be gleaned from some old articles: http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/People/Booth/sar-update-2.html http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/People/opsomer.html They seemed to have success with Crypts, hygros and water sprite, as well as many other "normal temperature" plants. At the board meeting last night, I got some requests for non-green plants (eg, Rotala macrandra, Alternanthera), unusual crypts, and Val tortifolia. I'll put the list together in a few days, so anyone else interested, send those requests now! - Erik -- Erik Olson erik at thekrib dot com
