aka the banana-less banana plant.
I can't find info on how big leaves get, is this plant too big for a standard 5g (16x8x10 lxwxh)?

You could "train" it by religiously trimming it. It would become the centerpiece that way.

Hi AquaAurora,

With trimming I can keep in growing nicely in a 10 gallon; if I let it go it will grow to the top of a 24" tall tank.

10 gallon

45 gallon tall (24" tall)

Thank you both for the input! I'm currently debating about setting up my 10g (in storage atm) or putting this plant in a 5g.. in a 10 g I could get 2 or even 3 and then the 5g can be set up on the desk and be its own biotope for something new... ahhhh the MTS is rampant!!!
Btw Seattle lovely photos! I don't see fish in the 10g though, have any fauna in there?

Hi AquaAurora,

Thanks for the nice comment. There are a couple of Corydoras habrosus hiding in the thickets and a couple of Otocinclus in there as well.
