FRANK       Moderator Posts: 5108 Kudos: 5263 Votes: 1690 Registered: 28-Dec-2002  | Hi, In the picture, it almost looks like two plants. The left side would appear to be Corkscrew Val. The blade on the right side appears more vivid a green, and a heavy flat blade suggestive of Jungle Val, or Sag. Frank  -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<-- |

| FRANK Moderator Posts: 5108 Kudos: 5263 Votes: 1690 Registered: 28-Dec-2002 | Hi, The Corkscrew Val, and others prefer bright light, I'd say at least 2 watts/gallon, although in a shallow tank such as a 10G you might get by with 1 or more watts/gallon.

Falstaf Fish Addict Posts: 785 Kudos: 1211 Votes: 196 Registered: 12-Feb-2004  | I say give it a try, i found any species of valls very adaptive to light conditions, i's had them in high ligh tanks and low light tanks, and they do well, the only difference i notice it growth and greener colors. Give it a week and see how it's doing in your tank, they are fast growers and fast diers  so in a week you should know, if it doesen't die you can get some more, they will grow slower though. |
