Very pretty.

**jfrank85** · 09-05-2009, 04:59 AM

ohhh gasps! (little squeaky liz sounds)

hydrophyte · 09-05-2009, 05:51 AM

That's cool. What a cute little bloom.

lekyiscool · 09-05-2009, 06:08 PM

Thats awsome, what kind of soil is that? Regular topsoil, or special soil?

I might have to try that out one time, i.e. grow the plants immersed before moving them into the tank

Thanks Devin. The flower itself is barely half a cm across.

Thanks lekyis! The soil is about 60% straight spaghnum peat, 30% generic potting soil, 5% medium grade sand, and 5% perlite.

Beautiful flower!
I wonder if it looks any different from the non variegated version?

Oops, I missed your reply Chris

. I dunno if it looks any different or not. It sure is prolific though. Each stem's flowered at least once, some twice since last week.

Nice! Ever think of how much floor space you'd have with a 40 breeder?

**legomaniac89** · 09-10-2009, 12:11 AM

Don't tempt me! I have no room as it is

.

A lot of the plants are probably gonna get moved out of the tank pretty soon. Cryptocoryne fever has set in and crypts will be taking over the tank very soon. I have a bunch of über-rare and über-awesome crypts coming hopefully tomorrow.

So I've read

**legomaniac89** · 09-10-2009, 12:17 AM

Hehe yeah, Ghazanfar and Ebichua about bankrupted me

danepatrick · 09-22-2009, 05:06 PM

so are you using any special ferts, or is this all just water, soil, and light?

**amp** · 09-22-2009, 08:18 PM

That's an awesome tank, you should put some firebelly's in there.
