    Here is what i read about this beatifull plant.
    Most people with luck do have not to hard water!
    The plant is sensitive on bacteria and fungus!
    The plant is probably sensitive on copper and other heavy metal!
    The plant prefer a clean bottom material but still with some nutrient!

    Yeah I've heard they are a bit more fussy than most, but i'm sorry to hear they are that bad :-(

    Well, I know someone keeping 2 in a low tech tank with 2 x T5's and a flourite substrate. Dosing Dirk's Druppels and some Co2. They are doing very well.
