It sucks up nutrients faster when floating. As long as you have nitrate present and a decent amount of light, it will grow quite fast. If you have very low light, then I'd let it float so it'll be closer to the light. Last edited by upikabu at 06-Oct-2005 19:46 -P  |

If you hold down a length of it against the gravel, it may grow roots and anchor. It actually does best in most tanks floating where it forms ropes up to several feet in length and provides shade, and shelter for the tank and the fish.

| FRANK Moderator Posts: 5108 Kudos: 5263 Votes: 1690 Registered: 28-Dec-2002 | Hi, While it prefers "direct sunlight" in other words, 3+ wpg, as a floating plant you can "get away" with less as it is only floating an inch or two from the light source. "A" 40 watt bulb is not enough for a 125G tank and having it, or any plant grow under those conditions would be pretty dicy. Anacharis also prefers water that is alkaline and will really enjoy having some calcium in the water. Frank -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<-- |
