    Not meant as a thread high-jack.

    The price of Downoi is pretty close to that...

    Last I saw was R50 for a single plant. If you want a carpet of Downoi you're in for a shock!

    I'm ready for that shock!! I'd get about 4 of them and clip then when they grow to carpet the tank.

    @ Gilbert - You want R14.00 only?

    Em...might take a while. They grow pretty slowly. But let me know your progress. I am currently experimenting with a riccia carpet, just because I want to avoid the usual glosso, HC or hairgrass carpets you see in every second tank. This may interest me.
