whetu Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 You'll probably have trouble keeping them anchored to the substrate. Also that much light in a 60cm high tank is really not very much. I have that much in my 45cm high tank, and medium-light plants seem to do well. A lot of plants grow kind of tall and spindly if they don't get enough light. On the other hand it can't hurt to experiment. Try the glosso and see how it goes.

alanmin4304 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 That is probably not enough light for bottom plants that need good light like glosso or E. tenellus var. tenellus in a tank 600mm tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_elmo Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 its a hard plant to grow, you need alot of lighting plus rich substrate and also CO2 to grow it well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
