    Hi my fellow fish keepers.

    I saw this plant at my one LFS close to my work today.

    They are selling for R20 is this reasonable?

    Their is a nice big one.

    What is this one called?

    Thanks,

    Jip it does look like this thanks a mil, see it needs cooler water range. Needs medium light.

    Temp range 18-25 my tank is 27.5 I read that they dont flourish at higher temps.

    My tank has got the brightest light in the middle of the tank, I have heard from Slomo.00 that this is usually the case.

    If I do get this plant I will plant it in the middle of my tank in mid ground area.
