whetu Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I think it might be a form of Lilaeopsis ... isn't there one called zealandia? Like this one: http://www.tropica.com/article.asp?type ... tic&id=608 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 u pretty much need sand and it likes a lower temperature. buy it at a garden centre in the marginal plants section its cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enzoom1 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 lol im pretty sure im gonna get a juwel lido 120 soon. In the tank i was wondering what carpet plant i should have. I was thinking maybe zealandia but I'd like dwarf hairgrass much more. Is dwarf hairgrass a good carpet plant? does it spread nicely?
