It forms a nice thick grove, but takes a long time. I have a few and it takes a good few months for them to reach their peak in terms of looks, and that's with Co2 and a very rich water column. On the plus sides it hold it's leaves well. They last a long time, don't melt readily and seem to stay pretty free of algae. The only thing you can add to push them along is Co2 gas. 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.

I do not have any Co2 and have no intention too much water movement. I was wondering if there was any of those plant tabs suitable. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
