Really? Interesting!

Sounds very interesting. I look forward to hearing about the substitute, the testing, and the results.

Wow! More Temptation!

I knew I was taking a chance with all the plants I've purchased that some would turn out to be not what I want. That's one thing I've looked forward to: trying lots of different stuff to see what I really like.

Belem just went crazy and stitched the whole tank surface.

Now the stauro has open field running.

Thanks to Sean and Aaron for the MTS guides!

I found out later the "belem" was actually GWAPA hairgrass rather than belem.

It still grew like crazy under low light conditions.

Have you posted about this substitute yet? I am searching your site and have just seen this. Maybe you have posted it, but I have not seen it yet. Thanks
