Fish On The Brains Hobbyist Posts: 141 Kudos: 126 Votes: 65 Registered: 04-Jan-2005	About a week ago I picked up some live plants, and in the Java Moss was this little plant with a rhizome... hmmmm? Looks like Nana (Anubias Barteri 'Nana'), any ideaers? Anubias aren't that cheap either! Bala Shark *bala shark attached this image:*

Just tie it to a piece of wood or a small rock and it should do quite nicely. Lucky find. 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.

If they are, remove all the soft areas with a sharp pair of scissors so the rot doesn't set into the rhizome. Then just tuck it into a corner or tie it to a piece of wood or rock and wait to see what happens.

It was tucked between two rocks in a 20 gal. but came loose and is floating right now. I'm going to tie it down tomorrow. I priced some Nana not to long ago (it was a real nice plant) at a LFS, it was going for something like $25CDN! ... sorry? how many plants would that buy me??? put's arms up in air like being held up Thanks for the input bala shark Last edited by bala shark at 07-Feb-2005 23:07
