African Tiger Lotus
Man, what am I gonna do with this thing. It's a beautiful plant, but, up
until a few weeks ago it was kinda wimpy, then I upped my co2 a little, put in some Jobes fern spikes and this thing has taken off, It is in my 30 X 12 X 12 plant only tank and it is beginning to look like it is going to need a tank all it's own. Don't dare put it in my planted fish tank, which is non co2 at this point as I don't think it would survive the algae eaters. Maybe keep pinching off the bigger and longer stems and leaves, or cutting back on the feeding? Never thought I was going to have a problem like this with plants. Love this plant and hate to have to stifle it in any way, but gotta do something. Thanks. -- Paul "You can make it foolproof, but you can't make it Damned foolproof." |

Tell me about it !!! mine has had 2 babies already since I had it, and the
plant itself has gotten huge. I've had it for about 3 months now. It's sure beautiful though, deserves it's own tank =) "Paul" wrote in message ... Man, what am I gonna do with this thing.

You can always cut the stems off . Sometimes it will grow short and
sometimes long. . marcus http://www.Aquatic-store.com On Sat, 1 Feb 2003 06:29:35 -0800, "Paul" wrote: Man, what am I gonna do with this thing.
