I did what Shango wanted with Hygrophila too. Let it grow - it climbs out of the tank, attaches to whatever you want, flowers and fills the room wtih fragrance. The submerged parts don't look like much - stems and roots. But the emersed stuff is really quite nice. This was in a hardwater tank, with a simple shoplight suspended above it, and some relatively inoffensive (non-plant-destroying) cichlids in the tank, like tanganyikans I think. > Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 07:53:48 -0700> From: haika@drizzle.com> To: > gsas-member@thekrib.com> Subject: Re: [GSAS-Member] Plants for Topless Tank> > > Well, I had Hygrophila doing exactly what you describe.
