Leroy Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Bit of an odd question... Anybody aware of what the plants are in the 'managers' tank that are on the ground (small .5cm broadsword carpet like thing) and the other odd plant growing on the wood in there? These are the best descriptions I can get unfortunately lol. Partner is curious and would love to know what it is/get hold of some. Of course, she forgot to ask at the time... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I am pretty sure there is glosso as the ground cover in that tank I believe it is a NZ native but im not too sure, if you ring and ask for pete im sure he will know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroy Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Oh is that all :roll: She made it out like it was some new, rare plant. Guess I'll have to get her some then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I don't know for sure what it is im not into plants, you are talking about the tank at wetpets aren't you? The one sort of just behind the counter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroy Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Ha, oops. Yeah the one at wetpets. Completely forgot to say what place it was at. I'd say it would be glosso going by what she's told me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I have glosso grown emersed (which is how it is usually grown when you buy it). I can take a bit to the conference to pass on to someone from near you if you wish. BE WARNED-----It is very hard to plant other than in sand because it is such a small plant with small leaves and tiny roots. It also requires very strong light. Let me know if you want a clump to start you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 try a PM to Nooboon. He is the one who runs that tank. Beware that he is also rarely on here.... A better bet would be to look up the Wet Pets email address and put Peter in the subject line. He responds quickly to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Its Glosso Youll need good lighting and CO2 or flourish Excel if you want to make it grow like that. As stated in above threads, it is a NZ native and can be found aorund many lakes and sreams. That is Petes tank. He kindly gave me some cuttings a while ago.
