how fast/tall does frill grow? Also would it grow in a 10 gallon tank with basic gravel and lighting?

I just got some frill, aka myriophilium. It is growing well so far in my tank with a little over 2wpg. I just put it in the tank, so I'm sure it hasn't really started growing yet, but I've noticed a couple inches of growth in the past couple days. It is said to be a fast grower.

I have some frill. It is a great plant and doesnt need any special requirements. i have mine in just about 1wpg and its doing great. I would say with good lighting it could grow a couple inches per week. You dont need a 50/50 mix but you might want to get it.

Sorry this post somehow slipped past me. I think it's best to go 100% flourite, or close. I could only afford two 15lb bags though. Flourite is just a nutritional base for the plants which is beneficial, but not entirely necessary.

good luck!
