	from a 3.30 investment

They went into my 10g Endler's tank; Flourite substrate, 1.5wpg, no co2, and I was using regular Flourish at the time. The plants did really, really well I'm in the process of re-doing that tank, the photo below are the dwarf sag I took out today. Also, in the months following the initial purchase I carpeted my 5g with babies from the original plants, and there are probably 20 or so in my 75, 30, 29, 20 and 6. As a side not, the lids from Rubbermaid totes are great for working on plants outside the tank Theresa_M attached this image: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

Your water conditions and light probably very agreeable for sag, nice work You may have found your 'niche' plant here. The Amazon Nut...
