wonderin what people's expiriencs with this plant are and their
comments.

I also put this plant into a tank that I haven't cycled yet. The only
fish inhabitants are 4 black neon tetra. WIll the plant grow under
these conditions? Will the plant slow down the speed at which the
tank
cycles?

Thanks for reading.

My general experience is that this is a fairly undemanding plant as
long as you have good, strong lighting. Regular fertilization with a
broad-spectrum aquatic plant fertilizer would be beneficial as well.
This is definitely not a plant for low-light tanks. It reproduces as
easily as most any stem plant, simply pinch off the top 4-5 inches when
it gets too tall, and replant the top.
