Crypt and Vallis ?
I've got a miniature crypt and plain val growing together okay for the past
year. My val however seems to grow in spurts and then become dormant for a couple of months. The crypt shrivelled and died back when I added additional lighting but has recovered quite nicely. It's currently potted in floss, any ideas on increasing it's size. If I take it out of the floss and pot it's likely to fall apart it's stems appear so small and fragile. They are the only two plants in my tank that seem to be resistant to BBA. "Madpiano" wrote in message ... I just found this snippet on the net: []Is it just an old wife's tale that Vallisneria and Saggitaria or Cryptocoryne and Vals(?) do not thrive when kept in the same tank? I just set up a 20 gallon with Vallisneria tortifolia and Saggitaria subulata at opposite ends.[] Now, when I first started my tank I had lots of spiral vallis and it did fine, especially in the hard water here. But I added some plants and 3 crypts and the Vallis died eventually. I wondered, as I know it normally grows like weeds, but didn't think too much about it. I then set up to small tanks. They haven't got much light, so I planted them mainly with Crypts, but they both get direct light from a window on one side and I planted Vallis on that side to provide some shading. Again the Vallis died, this time even quicker. Has anyone got any experience of Vallis (especially the small ones) and crypts in tanks ? Greetings Mad |
