clownloachfan Fish Addict Posts: 660 Kudos: 850 Votes: 115 Registered: 10-Oct-2003	Hello all. Last Friday night, i was lucky enough to get a hold on some of this stuff. I got 8 stems with alot of offshoots for only $2.00. I have 1&1/4 watts of light with eco complete substrate for the planted aquarium and a small CO2 system. Will it do fine. Is there anything else i should know?

If the lower leaves can not get sufficient light it can/will loose all its lower leaves and look very stringy plant.
